For Stellaris 3.6.*

Escort Drone Swarm

This is a expendable swarm ship, the drones are smaller than a covette. Fully design as an escort to any of my standalone ship mods. Will also work with vanilla or any other ship mods.

Purpose

-This thing is designed to be an escort for my carriers But it will work with any ship.
-Swarm the enemy to allow any of your flagship/capital ship to stay in range.

Features

-Balance (In terms of fleet power, There’s -20% weapon damage modifier. in exchange, more ship speed.)
-Really FAST (A Speed of about 500+)
-Really CHEAP (A Fully build Drone will cost about 180* alloys compared to a fully build corvette which usually cost 200+*)
-Really FAST Build speed. (This thing are small. Really really small thus building them should be quite easy. The only way you’ll see then is if you focus on 1 ship and zoomed in.)
-Maxed Evasion (The drones have more than 130+ evasion but stellaris maxed is 90.)
-Special Long Range Jump Drive (This long range jump drives allow this drone to escort special ships with Long range jump drive too such as Space Battleship Yamato, Arcadia and Warlock.)

Requirements:

Tech: None
You can build this at the start of the game.

FAQ:

Q: Use as an escort? ship to stay in range?
A: YES. you see, stellaris is coded like this: Any Capital ship with no escort even if having the Artillery core will ALWAYS go POINT BLANK to the enemy it’s attacking. Having and escort such as corvettes with fix this BUT corvettes takes time to build and cost too much.

Q: How can be this drone be much better escort for the special stand alone ships?
A: TheLong Range Jump Drive. You see, stellaris is coded to used the lowest range jump drive or common jumpdrive when combining it with an escort such as corvettes. So if you combine a Corvette and a Space Battleship Yamato, Yamato’s special long range jump drive wont be use. On the other hand, this drone is already equiped with something similar to it, it’s a bit downgraded but the range of it is still far.
