Summary0018822: Please desync multiple Defender Drones
DescriptionThe Defender Drone "Unleashes occasional AOE bursts that clear shots and knock back the enemy." In my current run, I have two of them and they "unleash" simultaneously. 80 credits each, I think it deserve a desync to double the "unleash" rate instead of not-even-doubling the size of the AOE.

Please.

It's a tricky one this, as Misery already considers the Defender Drone borderline OP as it is, so it was actually intended that these drones not go out of sync with their bursts in order for stacking them not to become super OP. As things currently are, you get an AOE boost, so you kind of get diminishing returns at least. Misery almost certainly wouldn't allow these to go out of sync, increasing their power. I think it's kind of a choice between sticking with the current diminishing returns or just making it so that the player can only ever get one of these drones (actually in the engine we can only make items appear once or many times, not be owned once or many times, so this solution isn't quite correctly doable in the engine at the moment).

I understand the issue of OP-ness. However, 80 more credits for a greatly diminished return seems like a bad deal; even Green Envy shouldn't afford that. I would agree with allowing it to spawn only once, instead. It would prevent wasting credz in hope for doubling the efficiency.
