Droney pelletey floatey thingies

How do you kill them? So annoying!

 

They tear my ships apart, and it doesn't seem like my ships shoot back!

 

Do you need air or something? 

 

Is there any counter?

 

Or is it just uber damage that you need to suck-up???

 

How do you get rid of (or counter) them?

Seems like they sometimes pop by my nodes... and sit there... No other ships from enemy around.

It is a Substrate orbital ability.

Yea play substrate a bit and check it out in use.

So, I played last night, and of course the computer "orbital drone thingied" me a bunch of times. 

I tried to buff with a number of appolo, and it didn't make a difference. 

I was still pummeled by the damage. 

Doesn't seem like there is a reasonable counter, other than retreat.

And you get trounced as you're turning tail too.

One apollo wont counter an orbital ability, you need a couple and also medics in your army. You need them anyway so get them!

Orbital nulifier works too :D

Yeah I found the nullifier.

 

Falls into category of challenging AI.

 

Bombs the nullifier, and then jumps immediately to Droney things.

 

Meh.

5 appolo's for me typically take out the drone swarm before it does too much. Also anti air turrets do even more

Protect the nullifier with AA then, and/or build more than one nullifier.
