Balloons with Health

[Ayetach]

I agree with your ideas puppy fur, having variation in balloon durability would definately be a game changer and would remove the flechette weapons like carronades from being the catch all for engagements.

But i also agree with Geo in scaling the repairability of the balloons respectively.

Seems fair.

Here's what I like:

Decrease rebuild speed. Or

Buff drogue chute but keep the effects on thrust. Make hydro + drogue a solid counter to being popped at the expense of maneuverability. The pilot has to give up a tool but gains a defense. This is what I'd most like to see. It would force carronades to close distance fast.

There's still the problem with your balloon breaking immediately after being rebuilt. I was thinking there could be an inflating effect upon rebuild that lasts for 3 or so seconds regardless if it immediately breaks. Or an effect on rebuild that provides an effective boost to lift for about a second.
