Infested Drones
05/09/2006
An infestation has occured! The word is, that the Maltu Orion Legion have been experimenting with new ways to attack their enemies. It started with a basic nano-virus designed with one thing in mind: To destroy. That virus was later explored further, until efficienct mechs were designed - Mechs that were small enough to attack a target from within. The Maltu scientists implanted a code in the virus that would prevent it from attacking their creators - But as their luck goes, that virus was reprogrammed by an elite squad from the Mercenary Coalation. The result of that reprogramming gave the "drones" the ability to learn and adapt, and combined with their killing instinct - It eventually lead to the drones breaking out of their original programming and overcoming their creators. Since then, infestations of drones have been appearing on numerous outposts at the fringes of corporation regions - Often completely inhabitating bases, leaving no survivors. Infested Drones are efficient machines that can operate for days without needing to recharge their energy reserves.
Developers Hint: You might remember the handy little deployable drones from Hyperspace Apotheosis. These are basically redone versions of those drones, although I decided the original models were a little crappy - So I decided to give them a bit of a redesign. And an evil-esque splodge of paint. These drones aren't deployable, infact, they aren't for players - They will try to kill players instead.
