Drone d'attaque

Drone d'attaque is the final ground combat drone unlocked in the technology tree. It is the upgraded alternative to Drone de précision, trading away range and movement speed for better combat performance: its durability is 1.2 times higher and its DPS is 1.3 times higher. As a result, it is the stronger choice when fighting tougher targets, especially if drone-related upgrades are still underdeveloped and you are willing to accept heavy losses to take a Planetary Base.

Compared with Precision Drone, Attack Drone tends to perform better against higher-tier enemy bases. It is useful when the goal is to overpower a difficult Planetary Base even at the cost of several hundred drones. On the other hand, if the base is small enough that around 150 drones can handle it comfortably, Precision Drone is usually the better option because its greater range and mobility make it more efficient for lighter engagements.

• Attack Drone requires Tube à particules and Processeur to manufacture, so production can become constrained by those components.
• In the early phase of interstellar expansion, mass-producing it can create competition for raw materials with Logistics Stations and Logistics Vessels.
• Before switching production over to Attack Drone, check both your factory output and your stockpile levels for all required materials.
• It is best treated as a heavy assault option rather than a default replacement for Precision Drone.
