evilbaronatreides Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Heres a fun things to do: build a couple of air drones (about 4-5) and speed them over to the enemy's harvesting area. Any carryalls will quickly feel the wrath of the drones, taking any harvesters they may have. Quickly rush out, however, since air drones cant stand anti-aircraft fire all that well. This works well against the computer and suprises most human players (especially those who dont guard their spice fields) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 that doesnt work nowadays. air drones get killed by the enemy's aa mines, adps or other air drones. it's a dogfight out there. but aa mines are much better against ADPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 The AI is easily taken out by this strategy; you don't even have to take out the AA drones - leave them in there and they'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbaronatreides Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 the problem with adp is that they are too slow, they really are only made for guarding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 Two air drones can easily take out an adp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 1 air drone can take out an adp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House_Corrino Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Here's a fun way to use an air drone: Pick up an enemy harvester with an advanced carryall and have the drone blow it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Or let the enemy pick up the harvester with a normal carryall and have the drone blow both away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 i prefere that way the enemy lose to expensive units and importants :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House_Corrino Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 The air drone is way better than the suicidal AA mine and slow ADP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 They are the only of the three AA-airborne with speed, and they have the longest range. But attacking an AA mine is suicide... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 And heck they kill your units , when they come in the range of that annoying thing. Good when you play against ordos and Harkonnen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dezertfish Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I use them for hit and run, or as distractions for the AA when I send in Ornithopters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I always keep building those AirDrone. Once I met someone online doing that too, and the fight began... It is cool a fight between dozens of AirDrones vs dozen of AirDrones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
