Drones in Social Engineering.

[vonbach]

Simple question. Can you add or subtract drones in social engineering?

I do know that efficiency subtracts some drones. You also have a psych slider that you can adjust at your own peril that will take away from money and research.

I was just thinking of trying something different when modding Social Engineering choices.

You mean drones per base?  You can create extra drones via a -TALENT modifier, but AFAIK there is no way to remove drones (+TALENT creates extra talents instead, which has a similar effect).

There is also the "NODRONE, x" social modifier you can put in a faction's text file (x = Number of drones per base made content).

Yeah I was hoping to add or subtract Drones per base with social engineering.  I've already tried Talents. Thanks.
Update. I tried to add drones in social engineering as an experiment it has no effect as far as I've seen.

Yeah, there's no separate +DRONE option in social engineering.

Though is there a reason you don't want to use -TALENT to add drones per base?

[vonbach]

Mostly because I wanted to see if there was another option besides just adding or subtracting talents.

There isn't, but keep in mind that a negative TALENT score creates drones rather than removing talents.

Yes I know but its not quite the same thing.
