Energy orb pulses AoE damage after detonation

Sapping Ospreys are Corpus ospreys that deploy an orb which generates an AoE damage field. The orb releases pulses of damage over several seconds, then floats approximately 2 meters into the air for a final detonation.


Tactics

  • Sapping Ospreys have a tendency to attack directly, similar to the Mine Osprey, and launch energy orbs that form a blue, spherical field dealing average damage over time. Shield Ospreys will support them until they are destroyed. The devices are launched at a fairly low trajectory, similar to an underhand throw.
  • Given their size and blue colouration (see Trivia, below), Scorching Ospreys can easily be mistaken for Shield Ospreys at a glance, especially if Shield Ospreys are also around. An easy way to identify them is the fact that they will gain a blue shield outline when protected by a Shield Osprey.
  • A Scorching Osprey's damage field generators can be shot and destroyed prior to detonation.

Trivia

** Their current cover picture in the Codex is similar to the Corvette. 

Bugs

  • The damage field generators launched by Scorching Ospreys seems prone to two issues, at the present time;
    1. They may not reliably damage client players.
    2. They may not cause any damage to players after the Osprey that launched the device has been destroyed.
