what should i do about the drone? help?
Edit: nvm. i picked my butt up and went by fast....
Oh, the superdrone isn't THAT hard to kill as long as you keep it contained. Since you obviously have not managed to do that, nothing really needs to be done about it. Just leave the monstrosity be and move the LS a few inches further away from its M-rift and keep a close eye on it. You wouldn't want to lose a run just because it randomly chose to hit the LS and pwns you. While it's busy, nullify that gateway so it won't respawn, then kill it so you can focus on your next task. The only thing you should have to worry about after that is making sure you don't accidentally flood the survival capsule with creeper.
did that... but i had a save so it was fine... ;)
that... is a LOT of launchers. lmao
i know... i needed them too
I hold to the fact that you never need THAT many launchers. After a certain point, they just fire at empty space because they all aim at the same spot.
Ebon_Heart, you may speak again on that matter when you have beaten every level.
Michionlion -
I just started this and just had to laugh at all the things I got hit with in the first few minutes.
Just as an aside, I found this link yesterday (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=6149.0) and was amazed at all the improvements you can buy in the "Tech Table".
Not sure if you've read through that yet, but several clever tricks are revealed.

I'm scared now..... But i'll take that bet, i'll never use more than 10 launchers in any level from here on out. (two levels to go)
EDIT: and when I did this, I had to break it open close enough to the gate to build a nullfier there, the stupid demon drone just respawns too fast... But it looks like you just let him play in your reactor farm while you destroyed his home.
Well, I would agree that that's a lot more launchers than is really necessary - but there are times where you will want more than 10 launchers - of course you *can* win without more, but it's a lot faster using more launchers in some instances.
Well, two things. Kithros has an amazing time. Second, I made a video, but at 2.5Gb, it was corrupted. :(
also, how it played out was the drone had time to play in reactor while i took thrade

I've just been playing around here, so my time sucks... but I'm gonna beat it without ever building more than 10 launchers.... I wasted a ton of time earlier making a super dense anti creeper ball for no reason. lmao
I filled the bottom chamber with good creeper and went after the capsule from the bottom. (With lots of blasters and launchers.)
Why.... And nth was right, I ended up with 20 launchers on day 19. And I had to flag out retreat when I let the demon drones out... I got as much stuff as I could out, closed the rift behind me, built lots of blasters, and filled every open space with shields.
yep...
