Flying Combat Robots

Flying Combat Robots

For the new flying robot units, you need "Combat Robotics" research. This unlocks the Defender, Distractor, and Destroyer type robot combat units. You build and deploy these in the same way as the droids. The combat robots are weaker but have strength in numbers. The balancing is such that once you get the next level of robot, there is not too much point in having the weaker ones except as a distraction. These robots fly, and have no collision box so you can stack a lot of them together for high damage. 50-100 of them can be in a small space. One technique might be to combine some of these in squads with droids to add firepower. Another might be to use Settings module and turn squad size up to 100 and deploy large masses of cheap Defender + Distractor robots. These combat robots are NOT durable enough even in large groups to take on behemoths, which is when you'll need to start making Terminator droids or large amounts of rocket droids to go with them.

Credit goes to Klonan for his Combat Units mod which originally had these three flying robots in it, but he gave me permission to integrate his units.
