Support Drone

[ashemar]

Support Drone (Atreides) has 2 slots for troops. How I can embark troop on it?

So I believe it can only 'capture' troops who are about to die (old version was better as it healed allies - was OP tbf). You can then disembark them once the battle is over and they come out with like 1hp so let them out in a supply zone and besides, troops run a bit quicker than the drone so no clue why you'd want to put them in anyhow.

The last Atreides aircraft can transport though I believe. Not really played Atreides much tbf. Prefer Smugglers & Corrino myself.

Thanks, I wasn't playing early access- it's my first encounter with Dune games (apart of course the one on MS DOS :)

So I think the description of units and their traits is missing. I didn't know support drone no longer heals troops in area, I used this info from some youtube videos.

Well with it healing - it does have an icon on its unit card about "heals at cost of solari" but I found no option to heal my troops so I'm not sure what that means, lol.

It is healing the drone itself. Healing mechanical units (aka repairing) costs solari now.

Ah, thank you for the clarification.

Remember it also has toggle to switch between combat mode and rescue mode, only rescue mode will get troops about to die inside of it.

I'm new to this game but I think that there is no point of building them then.
Can someone please tell me if my observation is wrong?

They save troops. 2 (or up to 3 with gear) and with speed gear upgrade can withdraw faster from a losing battle with your experienced troops you might have lost.
Plus they can be used offensively in battle and only cost Solari to heal if you are low on manpower.

I can. Your observation is wrong. Loosing experienced troops is bad.
