    why do u wanna know?
    just came to mind while im supposed to be studying for exams lol rip me
    anyways its a new item, maybe red or yellow item and basically shoots out a little hologram, exact replica of the player using it (type of ship, same hp level as the player had when he shot it, same name, everything except its like a mannequin) and it just drives around aimlessly(or maybe not idk to be discussed below) and you won't know its fake except after it gets damaged by point weapons or direct torp shot...
    some concerns are

    using it as a minesweeper (big no no)

    and also as a "bouncer" e.g. send it into enemy crowd (maybe u can control it) and then chuck a torp into it and splash the enemy to hell

    so only cannons that hit it, torps that knock it directly so splash dmg wont do anything, and maybe it disappears after a set time (increases with upgrade)
    OR
    it actually has health and hp increases with upgrade

    the point is to create distraction so things will need to be in place to keep it from being used as troll or like mentioned above "cheating" methods

    long CD for sure...
    thats all i got so far

    lemme know:p

    No need to bump a thread that was created 48 minutes ago ;)
    Wouldnt be a red, as it doesnt damage.
    Not sure if I like the idea or hate it :)

    Well if all 10 ships use it, then suddenly we have 20 ships flying around instead of 10.
    Waiting an age for my railgun to cooldown to waste it on one of these little scrubs would make me rage, same for tesla bolt :D
    That said, might add some variety mix up play and allow for more 1 vs 2 comebacks etc as technically you could balance the teams even if your decoy aint shooting.

    haha i can just see the salt levels if this comes out...and the memes about it...oh the memes that will be
    so dont shoot with it with rg, with blast until u can be sure its not one of the little scrubs (lol love the name)
    behold the Little Scrub Launcher!
    i think upgrades increase time it is activated (broken if shot) and u can set a final destination using some sort of new UI
    u can make it transparent qualities so it cant be used as minesweeper/shield/bouncer
    but can distract and fool :p
    @Miika @Pinecone @KilledWhale @Senor Producer @Stebbi and any other devs i missed what do you think?
