Okkar Prime Support Drones are a drone-class Okkar Prime enemy in Everspace 2. They are identified on the heads-up display by a ring with a diamond icon. They typically fly close with other Okkar Prime ships.
Characteristics & Behavior[]
Okkar Prime Support Drones will try to stay a safe distance from the player and shoot them with their Energy Orbs. They have the highest amount of shield of all regular Okkar Prime ships and are only surpassed by Okkar Prime Corvettes.
Strategy[]
Energy Orbs can deal a huge amount of area damage. When their characteristic metallic chirping sound is heard, the player should immediately change their position to get out of the blast area.
Support Drones deplete their shield when shooting their Energy Orbs. Therefore, the best time for attacking is right after their attack. Weapons that disable the shield, like the Shard Gun, are also useful to fight this enemy.
Trivia[]
The Energy Orbs have similarities with the projectiles of the Neutron Cannon from the original Everspace. The blast radius is smaller though.
