Plague Drones?

[Loser]

Version 1.86:
8. Fixed - Drones were not inflicting special damage types.<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">So, the patch is out. Has someone tested this yet?

Unfortunately, you can't install Plague Bomb on Drone in stock game due to Vehicle Type := Ship\Base.
So I set Vehicle Type := Ship\Base\Sat\Drone for Plague Bomb I-V, mount my medium drone with 3 plague bomb and start attacking planet.

And you know, they work!!

I think the patch type refered to RAMMING damage, guys. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Yes, it is for ramming damage. Normal weapons fire has always worked fine from drones. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Sorry for misunderstanding, that is new info for me.

Anyway, I've changed Weapon Damage Type for Anti-Planet Warhead I-III from "Normal" to "Plague Level 3". Equiped few drones with this new warheads and then ram them into the planet in combat (tactic, non-simultaneous).

Hmm, they are infected. And keep dying.

Is it what you talking about, or I'm confused again?

Yes, that is what the change was. That will now work. In 1.84, a plague damage warhead (for example) did not do plague damage upon ramming.

We treid this in a mod some time ago and could not get it to work. Now Plague Intel projects work great. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Didn't plague intel projects work fine before? Intel projects are just caused events, after all.
