How does everyone feel about the current drone sprites?
I personally think they look nice but could use some work. So I made a different type of drone need thoughts or should I just discontinue?

Drones have the fantastic option of... well, having options. Add yours in alongside our existing ones.

Also, someone sprite a Red Dwarf skutter.

Floating head-type drone, I think.

Mk2 drone that RnD can unlock for robotics to build?

Featuring VTEC speeds, zero-G maneuvering and auto-magboots?

For that matter, how does the hedgehog-with-no-arms /VG/ sprite we stole carry and use tools?

OK, well regardless of if you care if it holds things or not, the sprite is ugly. It looks more like a solid hunk of scrap metal with almost no color variation, as opposed to the sleek and pretty adorable design that it's based off of.

To help extend on what Allura said, it is really dull and could use something more to stand out, try putting a floor tile behind it and seeing how it looks.

I have always said that drones should have zero gravity manuvering ability and now we have something that its really hard to justify not giving it to

I suppose you could fluff it as needing air somehow change drones to being able to move in either zero-g or vacuums but not both.

to expand on this you could have its legs move down when on a floor with no air and have it switch to walking
