Value of Droid Sentries needs adjustment...

Patched to version 1.1

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello

Could you please have a look at the cost / size of the Droid Sentries....

You will notice that the level II cost the same, same size and offer the same level of protection as the next one up at level III.

How about the missing/misaligned/wrongly oriented hardpoints on the Yor ships?

Sometimes the proof is in the hull size. Perhaps on bigger hull size the Droid III takes less space than II ? Yes? I've seen it with other techs but havent checked these two.

The only constraint that I'm aware of, with the hull size of the ship, is the number of hardpoints and the initial loading capacity.

BTW - I'm using the droids on a huge hulled ship.

I do hope that if a dev reads this post then at least it gets acknowledged if it is a bug or not

No, some components get bigger with the hull-size. Probably doesn't do a difference here though since you use a huge hull but it's easy enough to check.
Click on Defenses without choosing a hull and you will get the size unmodified by hull-size.
If they still are identical, then it's a bug.

Good thinking.....

It does seem to be a bug as both class I and II of the Droid Sentries remain the same with no hull selected and they both 'scale' the same when any of the hull sizes available are also selected.

As you can see here, they're absolutely identical.

(Nice catchu! )
