They both cost 50, require 2 power. Their flavor text is nigh identical: Powerful Drone that continually attacks the enemy ship. Combat Drone that repeatedly attacks with a small beam weapon. What is the difference?

Its unclear as to whether this trait means that a subsystem manned by a Mantis crew member causes double damage to the subsystem (when damage is received) or to the enemy (when damage is dealt).

This is one of my first multiplayer games and I've been following my advisers' advice for the most part, but I don't seem to be doing all that well. Is their advice actually good, or should I not be following their advice?

When playing with a Squad i noticed that some people couldn't spawn at our deployed Galaxy because they seemed to be too far away, for example at the Warpgate. What is the range in which you can spawn away from your point of death and is it different for base spawns and galaxy spawns? Also, do S...

The title pretty much says it all. Do med-bay upgrades make healing in rooms besides the med-bay faster when you have med-bot dispersal?

I know this is obviously similar to this question but i was wondering if there was any new information on it. I thought since they've been doing lots of updates/it's a growing game, I thought maybe there could be some new info on it. Before you downvote/close I just wanted to point out that the...

In the Guild Wars 2 previews I was intrigued by the Sink and Float mechanics as a means to control underwater battles. However, I've not seen it much in the released game (in PvE, at least, which I play mostly). My thief has no relevant abilities that I know of but the official wiki list of Sink/...

I'm a fan of capturing enemy ships intact if possible, due to the greater rewards involved. With a teleporter, a couple of Mantis "spare" crewmates and an S. Bomb, this is very effective. However, I wonder if there are any remotely effective techniques for destroying the crew while leaving the ...

When I buy a SWTOR Game Time Card, what exactly does 60 days of game time mean, and how it is tied to the real world time? I have read all FAQs and subscriptions, but I am still none wiser. Does it mean I can play a game 60 days since I redeem the code, like when redeemed on Janunary 1, I can p...

I noticed on the Trading Post that there is a category called 'Containers' which lists armour boxes, which looking at the description contain a full set of armour. Does anyone know how these are acquired? There seems to be some talk around using the Mystic Forge to create them. Can someone tell...

Let's be honest, the rebel fleet is a real bore. What are the things that influence the rate at which they will take over a system? Does loitering in a sector give them more ground? Returning to visited sectors? How do nebulae and rebel ships escaping influence the fleet's advancement? Does upgra...

After trying out black mesa source I decided that the game has a lot of replay value, I missed many things and there are still achievements, but still the #1 thing which annoyed me the most during the game was the blood stains that you get on your hands and/or weapon when you kill an enemy. Here'...

This article on PC Gamers' website contains an interview with the lead designer for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, who speaks about there being differences such as higher resolution textures and a new user interface which displays "loads more data and allowing for a speed of interaction that changes how pl...

In Neocron 2: Beyond the Dome of York, is it possible to disable the introduction screens (the various developer logos, etc) and the outro screens (credits screen)? If so, how?

In Neocron it is possible through the launcher to set your graphics mode to "Windowed Mode", but it does not appear to be possible to change the resolution: Is it possible to set a custom windowed mode resolution? If so, how?

When I complete an event that rewards a chest/any loot, does the quality of the medal received (Bronze, Silver, Gold) affect the quality of the loot received? Or does the medal only affect the amount of EXP/Karma received?

In FTL, the key to reaching and defeating the final boss is to have a well-equipped ship, both in terms of purchased modules and upgrades to your systems. This all depends on having plenty of scrap to spend on both. What are your tips/techniques for increasing the amount of scrap you bring in?

When I unlock an Kombat Kode, It shows up on the screen. When I dismiss it, is there anywhere I can find my unlocked Kodes, or am I supposed to write them down? I know I can google them all, but that's no fun, I only want to see those I honestly acquired. :)

I'm trying for the achievement that unlocks the Kestrel's second layout. Is there a good way to collect all the unique aliens for the crew? I've gotten close, but it's been entirely random. Sometimes I find a store that allows you to recruit some. Other times encounters have given me alien cre...

Sometimes after taking heavy damage an enemy will offer to pay you off if you accept their surrender. It's possible to deny this and go for the kill, which will also give you a reward. Which option gives you the most benefits?

Today, as I don't yet have the privilege to vote-to-close, I raised a moderator flag against this question. However, the flag was denied, but I feel that this question falls in to the category of both "Shopping advice" and "Speculation of upcoming releases" which is defined in the FAQ as being p...

When traveling to the next sector in FTL, does your choice make much of a difference? It seems that you fight slightly different ships, but the difficulty and equipment you find doesn't seem to very. And, of course, Nebulas seem more Nebulous. Are green sectors less dangerous than red? Are th...
