Drone Question For Handles

Imreef · May 2015

Thanks for all the recent info and updates on the new version. Really appreciate it!
I was curious why the Mantra drones (XP 12) are worth so little compared to the Leviathan drones (XP 100) in V3? In V2, the Mantra had a 1000 power rating while the Leviathan had a 2000 rating. The ****py Bee was 400 in V2 but 8 in V3. Seems like the Mantras are highly undervalued. They should be closer to 40-50 XP don't you think?

The reason for this is that the Mantra was an item you could craft using parts dropped in game while the Leviathan was only obtainable through events, so the Leviathan gives more XP because it was harder to obtain.

They appear to have based the crafted drone points on the value of modules to create them. A Manta needed one power module (4 points) and one missile module (8 points), but a Bee needed two power modules and one gatling module (8 points), so it has a value of 16.
