Drone, please...

The drone are always falling frontward, would it be sesible for them to fall backward ? (especially in melee)

hmmmm...


if it was shut down by BLP, it has to fall according to the hit direction.

if it was "killed" by laser/plasma/MF, then it has to fall according to the slope it was standing on, or towards its movement direction (if it was not standing still), or randomly if it was standing and there was no slope at all.

if it was taken down by melee, it better break down in half and the pieces should fall with respect to the power of the cutting blow + gravity.

if it was blown in pieces by rocket/grenade, it must not be visible falling any direction in one piece.

Perhaps they fall forward because their arms are in front of them, being made out of titanium they weigh a lot....



perhaps their joints doesnt go backwards, causing all the springs in the robot to cause him to faceplant


or perhaps Mindark is trying to tell us something... face...plant...

Since the drone mimics the human body, it falls forward. Without any force exerted on the body, such as from a weapon, the human body tends to fall forward in unconsciousness to protect the back of the head. In most combat though, it would be more realistic to fall backward.

Seriously, guys, let's get taming back first.

Tamable and ride-able

ummm .. not drones but other tamable mobs

there was a period when we could see augmentation slots under inventory - imagine upgrading your body with bot parts...
