Drone rack

    Drone rack 0.1

    Very nice engineering work!
    (Incidentally, I like having the push beams on the rack; when the game is more complete, these should be something you can purchase as a ready-made part.)
    Does anybody have this on a ship? I would like that but its a great idea I am just not much of a builder.

    I do. But the ship isn't public and won't be any time soon (if ever).
    Great! but how did you make them shoot that far?
    if u use the push beam logic stuff they slowly glide away

    The trick is just to use more beam (with push effect) to get a stronger push. Having multiple outputs also helps with force afaik.
    nicely done, like your drones nice design :)

    The kind words are very welcome, thanks!
    after reading several post on the pros and cons of drones and never dealing with them until being attacked by a drone carrier, my biggest W.I.P. not just a salvager and carrier of smaller ships but she will MOST DEFINITELY be wielding some of your racks and drones. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE DOWNLOAD.

    I'm glad that it can be of help! I actually have an updated version, the push systems are all on the main ship (this makes the rack a lot less expensive). However, the entire system is slightly more complicated.

    I'll be posting the new version as a different thing, since there's advantages and disadvantages to using it.
    wow this is awesome!
    this has inspired me to build the mother of all drone ships
    ill post a link when i get a prototype built. you can expect 200+ drones

    I can't wait to see it!
    This is modularity and thought put into actual ingame usability in its purest. Inspired me to add drone rack functionality to my upcoming destroyer.
    Ohh my god :D

    I wanted to look at the whole thing bur I could not resist, I had to prerss the button. That is amazing, when they get puched out!!!

    A wonderful proof of concept for a drone launching system.
