For anyone who want's a good, simple drone-rail demo to reverse engineer. (Carrier-in-a-box.)
I used a design from a rail tutorial on the net and made this demonstration Carrier. 2100 blocks
Three drones share a rail system. One button press from the inner-ship remote launches one drone. Red/Yellow/green status-lights let you know when next drone is ready. My improvement on this cct is the anti-jamming sensors that keep each drone from jumping the cue and getting ahead of itself.
Note: You will need to form these ships into a factioned fleet and dock each drone manually once before this system is 'primed'. (Red-Yellow-Green) *Recall does not work if carrier is docked.
Good Hunting.
