Very nice @refantine 
. Here is another topic that I think has some relevance to your concept:

Wow didnt see that…xD
His repeater-bag idea its pretty awesome too, heavy and funny!
Could be applied for a new builder/support class

Cool idea, though wouldn’t it make more sense to add guns to the drone itself then slap the entire fucking 1.1 turret ontop of a flying drone? Though to be fair to the rest of the Human arsenal, I always had the sneaking suspicion that the Human R&D department was spearheaded by monkeys.
Guns n Drones are good rlb ideas too… but thinkin bout the chains lag or luci spam I would stay with turrets for now…
Thinking better, a simple thing that wouldnt take much change > make the base spin

I think that adding drone turret would be a great idea because of things like end game hiding. sometimes a dretch or basilisk and any other quick elusive aliens that hide all the time keep a game that is lost from continuing and spending like 10 minutes to find and kill the opposing hidden being. it will cause a more challenging runaway. and savour of time. although you should bring in the aspect of the drone maybe should be unable to attack alien buildings. due to the huge amount of camping caused by humies it would be bad if the humans sent to many drones and never did anything

Yes! The first idea really was drones remains only at base (powered by reactor), then if someone wants to take a drone with himself or the team (like an additional support), should carry a repeater or the heavy repeaterbag mentioned ^^
However about human camping, even radioactivity from RC doesnt make them go out anymore.
Maybe need more reasons to leave their comfort zone, like a princess rescue or a bomb deactivate.

Recently on the slack, i think it was cronn(aka romdos), who came up with the idea of having turrets be able to be equipped with weapons we buy.
I think this is a brilliant idea with very much potential.
Another idea was to have upgradable turrets, combining both ideas we might have turrets that can be equipped with up to two, or maybe even there weapons.
I like the turrets idea, imo we could extend this further and have mobile equippeable turrets, that would either need to be deployed to fire and could be commanded defend an area and follow the player.
I see much potential in those ideas, but it would need lots of testing to have an idea how this could be integrated into gameplay.
If not i would love to have a mod with these ideas.
In regards to the original topic, it would be real cool to have deus ex style robots and maybe a quad copter with a light weapon.
It would seem reasonable to have them be owned by players and be able to command them to either stay in one place or follow players, perhaps even be able to set a patrol path.
This would also bring trem closer to an actual rts.
I think aliens could have an equivalent mechanic, such as say a slow caterpiler like alien that would spit acid and such sort.
The camp might be a bit of a problem, but im sure it can be balanced out.

just do /give turret in devmap
Nothing happens in pre-release client. 
/devmap atcs
/team h
/give turret
start shooting
Nada
That allows you to use the machine gun part of the turret like firing a weapon, however that is a different concept discussed in this topic as it is not like a “drone”.
In all fairness, I bet that’s what Darklegion thought of back in the day before releasing 1.1. A problem can turn out to be bigger than the sum of it’s parts. 
Why would the introduction of drones cause camping? If anything it may encourage humans to get out of their main base if they have a mobile mini base follow them around. Also any drones that they may leave behind would give the humans that leave a bit more comfort that their main base will be that much more likely to remain intake enough when they return.
drone would have to be on a leash
Welcome back, sunphantom
thanks bird, the reason i have not been playing is due to being at school. I could play if tremulous was a verified mac app though… but since it is not a verified sender i cant play on my laptop at school. If someone can make a version that will work please do.
