    I promised it a while ago, so here it is. The Assembler has some concept arts now and i decided to post them to see what happens.

    These are the ship forms, next is the ship minions it can emit. I'll explain briefly which can do what.

    Attacker is the basic minion ship. It shoots and fights, you can switch it between orbiting around you and defend you, and going out to attack visible enemies.

    Healer is like a mini-fixer, exclusively using repair boxes. (each ship has A, B, and C loadout) nothing much to say about that. Can be switched to either heal you or the nearest player.

    Scout is the ship that needs no explanation. Goes in, shoots, goes out no matter what.

    Drone is the special ship, as, when emitted, can be played by the player like a remote controlled ship. It takes quite much slot points, though.

    The slots are a bit messed up, like mk3 should have 5 and mk4 should have 6. Also, shouldn't all ships have at least one weapon slot?

    Yeah, I'd say swap a yellow slot for a red. With all those minis floating around you have plenty utility already. Overall unique idea, though!

    I had that in mind too, so it could be like a 1-slot-1-point weapon user (cannon or carronade will probably work best)

    Actually, I thought first that if the Assembler wants to fight, it must use its drone. And the drone could have a customizable loadout instead of the preset A, B and C loadouts which are for the other ships.

    Because when you think about it, Assembler must be helpless on its own, otherwise everybody would use it

    I'm thinking this ship is a lot like World of Warships's Carrier, which has a short ranged cannon equipped in case an enemy gets too close. I think having a single point for red would be spot on. Maybe give replace one orange slot for a red one for all the Mks before Mk4, then instead of adding a second yellow slot give another orange slot at Mk4. As I mentioned, having drones is plenty utility to be needing 2 yellow slots. That or give up one of those orange slots for a 2nd yellow slot.

    Either way, at least 1 weapon is definitely mandatory.

    OK, your point. I take away the one point yellow slot and turn it red. At mk3 orange color gets 1 more points as it has to.

    From mk4, Assembler can become a frost mortar combo user and that bothers me a bit as I didn't mean to have like somebody emitting minions and also obliterating the enemy team with frost-mortar

    At least if it's just a single point red they can't use a big berta. Probably better off with a tesla shield and some kind of cannon for defensive purposes as you'll be spending much more time with your minis anyway.

    I say let them have it. My level 10 StM does like 1400 on a devastating blow with frost. That's not too OP and also still leaves you unprotected against speeders and enfos. Either way, something will be able to counter them.
