yeah, i'd tend to agree.
and i don't think the drones can act independently either -- they need direct input regarding their tasks. but i guess it's up to bw to prove it AND more importantly -- if they are NOT independent, does that mean he can use as many as he wants? 😕
its a GL type of independantly. Like say I a captain gives his soldiers an order to do some recon work. They can act independently withing the parameters of those orders 😬
Or more to the point, he once told a drone to find hawkeye, and it went across Cali to do that, even when Rhodes himself did not know where they were.
Anyways, Im getting my post written slowly but surely as I do run from this and work. Probably have it done tonight since I have to edit it a bunch
I'm not so sure about that. By that logic you would only be able use two smart bombs or missiles per match. I think the independent constructs are more so for summoning/creating additional independantly acting combatants with their own sentience that do not require any direction whatsoever. Programming a probe for recon or firing a smart missile to me doesn't fall into that realm, however, if, for instance, Newjak were to bring Black Knight's Horses into the battle to mule kick someone upside the head they would be "independent constructs".
Just my interpretation of the rule.

a very good analogy. i agree -- the drones are very much like your proposed smart bombs.
but i guess goob gets the final say. your interpretation ill, is the same one i had though.

Umm, are you sure? Because Blair's opening post doesn't seem to say so. And neither did some of the other opening posts. I thought we got basic knowledge of our opponent's amalgams. 😕
