Topic: Fluid Droids

I seem to be constantly being killed by my remote droids.
After placing one, It follows me around the map acting like a nice little pet droid.
Then out of no where it dicides to run me to into a wall, Eventually killing me.

This happened quite a few times with in a hour.
Maybe making Droids fluid allowing player to walk through them would fix this problem?

Re: Fluid Droids

Removing the infantry collision meshes of certain droids is actually possibly a good idea. In the meantime, just so you know, you can 'pick up' the droid for safekeeping with the Pickup Kit key.

Re: Fluid Droids

What? This should be in the pdf for first strike. I spent 5 minutes pinned up against a wall by my stupid droid. I didn't want to kill myself because i was in such a great position.

Re: Fluid Droids

You just have to be mindful when moving through tight spaces and low doorways.  You just need to either pick it up temporarily, or slow down/crouch as you advance.

I'd hate to see the collision meshes removed.

Re: Fluid Droids

I agree with CAAM. Removing the collisions isn't necessary. May jsut lead to even more strange things happening instead.
