No affects changes, just appearance options. (linked to costume)
Obligatory Guy Who Likes the Old Version post. In particular, I think adding the extra tricks would unbalance the power in the developers' eyes, leading to hideous retribution somewhere else if they were added, and I'm not OK with that. Though (as Twig notes) I'm cool with the cosmetic part if it's optional.
(Also: "hovering". "Hoovering" is... something else, and leads to a dozen half-formed jokes about how the drone may be a bit dull-looking, but I would hardly say they suck, particularly compared to the power they replaced...

Speaking of the original turret that placable like the tip mines ... That would've been annoying to work with. LOL

I'm rather fond of the look of the Tau version from WH40K, which looks like a thick disk or lens with (essentially) two of their assault rifles or LMGs mounted underneath, outboard. Even less likely to see that in this game, though.

Plenty of nice praetorian models ingame to use for gundrones/forcefield generators. Really wondering why those haven't been added for player use yet. On another note am I the only one that wishes traps had gundrone instead of time bomb? Bout time they make time bomb more useful on both traps and devices or that simply remove it and replace it with something else. I think making it a remote bomb would be a good step but atleast replacing it on traps with gundrone would be simpler for traps anyway.

For some reason, this one has been on my mind for awhile. I think in part with all the updates, upgrades, new zones, costumes, markets, etc, that the game has brought within the past six months. With that being said, every time I use my Gun Drone for my level 50 Rad/Devices Blaster, it looks dull, boxy looking and makes me wonder "what if"? In my battles with the Imperial Defense Force, they have these Orbs that I always thought looked cool and much more modern looking than the "Malta Type" gun drones. So, my suggestion is to call for an upgrade to our Gun Drones. Maybe these new Gun Drone Orbs will do more than just shoot bullets and perform more like the Imperial Defense Forces Orbs offering Stimulants, Plasma Blasts, Shield Generators, Sonic Augmentation and Resuscitators just to name a few. Or, maybe they'll just shoot bullets or laser beams? When these Gun Drone Orbs are just hoovering and not in attack mode, they will show a "Green" stripe. When in attack mode, that stripe will turn red.
This is just one representation for what the gun drone orbs would look like. I tried to find other images of Orbs and Drones within CoX but this is the best I could find so far. I am sure there might be more sleeker Orbs or Drones out there so feel free to share ideas if you like.
