Affiliation:
N/A - anyone can have them if they can afford them

Ownership:
Caj “Chaos” Krayte and/or anyone else who wants it and is able to afford them.
(Caj only owns three missiles...)​

Model/Name:
BB-Z1 Sabotage Droid

Class:
Sabotage Droid

Locomotion:
The BB-Z1 droids has simple maneuvering jets that help them to move while still encased within the sphere. They were usually stored in their missiles and were always ready for launch. However, they can only move in straight lines, no curves nothing fancy. Just up, down, left, right, forwards, and backwards

Power Supply:
Each droid is powered by a reactor primed for self destruction. The charge lasts for about 3hours and 30minutes.

Sensors:
The BB-Z1 has a main eye and two secondary eyes used for additional spacial awareness and an extendable probe capable of invading computer systems. Does not recognize friend from foe... this it can and will attack any ship nearby

Size:
Spherical
Width: 25cm
Length: 24.5cm​


Composition:
The outer shell is coated with a heat dissipating alloy that allows it to penetrate enemy shields; it is also constructed of shock-absorbing materials. While everything else is made of cheap not well made durasteel.

BB-Z1 Sabotage Droid
Weapons:
None, just tools


Tools:
Circular cutting saw, plasma drill, frequency jammer, and a serrated screwdriver


Description:
Buzz droids were intended to disable instead of destroy their targets. The buzz droid's design was based off the pisto, a pest that lived in tropical regions on the planet Colla IV.
it is possible to get them to self-destruct at the same time.(it doesn’t do much damage though) They are a huge nuisance when released early or onboard a ship as they had a tendency to start damaging all ship-like material within range.​


Intent:
To create an inexpensive(compared to starfighters) swarm, that would make breaching a ship or base easier and to give smaller ships a reason to leave off a payload and to bring some of these missiles. Otherwise we would all need some sort of massive Weaponry that could take down shields. This was also intended to be used as a distraction so that the enemy would become focused on getting the droid off, and forget about their real targets.​

Hey man. Nice to see you in the tech boards.

You are going to have to use the official template for droids here. That includes the coding (which is in the spoiler in the linked post) is also required. You should be able to just C+P the coding in your first post and then slide all the info in there.

Intent really needs to be expanded on too. You can go through some of the recent tech submissions and see what everyone else did for their intent sections to give you an idea on what to do for it. Not to tout my own horn or anything, but my tech is recent, you can look at those if you want (a link to links of my tech is in my sig)

Edit: Now for my thoughts on the tech. It does seem like a more advanced and miniaturized version of the Buzzdroids that we see 1000 years in the future this timeline.

First, your link doesn’t work for me(idk why)
Second, you’re right, now that I’m looking at it from that angle, it does look a little overpowered... will fix over the next couple of days...

To echo what lightspeed said... Yeah. We won't review it until it's in the proper template, and the intent section is the first thing I look at. You have to convince us it fills a niche and is something we need and is worth approving.

To preface this, I think this submission is a very interesting concept. I like seeing alternate/unusual ideas. That said, the description is pretty lacking. It's very unclear how exactly these are used and what exactly they do. Especially when you're introducing new/unusual tech, it's very important to be clear and thorough in the description, so there's no margin for error when they get used in RP. That level of detail is missing here. The hard information that I can glean from the submission though, along with the intent, leads me to believe that these would be way too open for abuse.

On those grounds- Archived.
