Weigh Anchor! New way to counter carronade?

<< < (2/2)

Indreams:
So,... it's like

Descent Force +X00%
Climb Force -x000%
Until ship is <10m above ground.
+X00% Angular Drag
+X00% Longitudinal Drag
-XX% Engine Thrust
Deactivation Delay: x Seconds

I gave above 10m stats because a pilot tool that only activates below ten meters would be just too hard to use. Instead, it takes you down until it truly activates.

So, it's like a chute vent with drogue chute at the end?

Basically, and nullifies all ground damage to the hull/armor. Do you think it should let the ship hover perfectly, or plant the ship firmly onto the ground?

Indreams:
I would go for, say -XX% impact damage, and high drag. So that the ship takes little ram/ground damage, but still can be nudged a bit. So that the tool wouldn't be op or abused.

I wouldn't want it to have a brand new mechanic. Just percent changes to how a ship operates, like most other piloting tools.

I would want this tested, and given a shot. Or perhaps it evolves into a new strategy against blenders. Chute Vent than Drogue Chute.

Very nice, it could also be used to counter the Minotaur's push I'm thinking.

The Sky Wolf:
I just imagine Spires anchoring down safely into large piles of scrap metal wreckage... Blending in and sniping kids out. Maybe it doesn't protect them from carronades, maybe it just chains them 5 meters from the ground to let them float there steadily.
