250 for 1 (3 VPs), 700 for 3 (7 VPs, breaks at 2, morale 1+ on both cards).

You can place these anywhere where they're touching the flying base of
the Overlord, not just directly underneath the Overlord, so they have an
effective range of about 4-5 cm.

Skimmmers/jet-packs can fight it in CC at low level. Any flier can
always CC the Overlord. This change was made in TL, after more flyers
had been released.
