Its a nice little drone you got there, that said its more of a blitz drone than an ironclad. Trying to move away from medium/heavy because the names are misleading. For instance keptick 's 1st generation soul drone is 149 mass, but it has about the same shielding as your Stumpy. On the other...

It's a wonderful idea to include drone racks on your stations. My question though is what launch method you want to use? with stations you have the additional option of using warp gates. These can launch MASSIVE racks of drones across equally MASSIVE areas of space. You could literally use your...

BrotherLazarus Thanks for the heads up, I was planning on doing another video entirely about drone sized weapons so I'll be sure to definitely put that on the list. Some of the more staticy "pet noises" are actually the mic smacking me in the face as I was fervently moving while talking. >_<...

So after several (dozen) attempts, a broken mic and some noisy dogs.. I finally have a rough video intro to drones available. I plan on adding more to it later any suggestions you guys have, content wise, are more than welcome. I know I know, the mic sucks but it's not easy to get good audio...

Working on the new carrier to replace the Savannah and I'm starting from the inside out. I'm doing this cause I'd really like to get a nice RP interior going, so by all means tell me what you all think of the new hallway design... View from the bridge... Recessed lighting in Orange (Towards...

That's the spirit! Get rid of those fleshy airbreathing weaklings and replace them with cold hard margarita serving automata. On the plus side with fewer fleshies about you'll find it much easier to finish your crossword puzzle aboard the Asgard.

I do happen to have something like that actually.. I don't use it because people (generally) frown on melted circuit boards. erhrm.. anyways its been a little crazy here so where to start on the whole drone-ception thing. It's actually not technically a new idea, it started I would say about 5...

Another update, although I should have chronologically posted this before the one above... The Gryllos is finally updated, oddly enough this is the first time I've actually had to update this particular drone as it has been my most carefully balanced and powerful drone to date. This new...

So it's been a little over two weeks now and I think I haven't touched my "battleship" in over a month now. It's honestly tough to come up with things that inspire me to build that ship. I do have several thoughts regarding my up and coming carrier that will replace the Savannah altogether. In...

That's exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned a transport vessel, it is easily the most effective method of lining them up, however the distance thing is still an issue. I had considered using a wireless connector but you're basically making a scrub carrier with this method. So you...

Precisely the idea, surprise is important. However, surprise is only an element when the speed to react is actually viable. With jump racks there's the problem of both timing and well.. time. It takes immense amounts of time to charge drives that aren't over sized and incredulously expensive...

Problem, drones have no pilot. Hence no waypoints. You'd have to jump your ship in, undock the drones, and jump out. Which is exactly what we've been doing with larger ships. Doing it individually would be... well... pointless. One drone is an easy kill, 200.. not so much. But having to jump 200...

I gotta say that is pretty awesome... but totally useless. Unless we can specify where it's going to jump it'll just go in whatever direction it's facing to the maximum distance it can jump. So it'll probably make one jump into an unloaded sector and then never be seen again till someone...

Actually did this. Was hilariously funny against my younger brother. Although I did feel bad and had to help him rebuild. I used a warp gate though instead of a jump drive. Vastly more reliable. BrotherLazarus Glad I could be of assistance. If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask...

Pretty much anything goes honestly, but I always find myself asking a few questions before I start another drone... Have you thought about what kind of rack you'd prefer? Do you have a ship already, or are you custom building to suit the drones? Is there a weapon or range preference? Target...

etz 'Umie mate. Dakkakakakaaa Waaaaaagh! *face plant* and now back to being a filthy 'umie again..Erhrm.. Yeah for this lets split it up into three answers. 1st Answer; In regards to megabit / sec connection. I totally feel your pain. Until just recently I too was stuck at 1Mb/s, thankfully...

BrotherLazarus That makes sense, I've done similar things to balance out power regens in the past. Usually I end up just adding more power once I've got a good solid weapon though. I suppose you did it in reverse. :p Ah I see, although I think you may want to change from rockets to lock-ons. A...

BrotherLazarus I did some testing and peeking about at the internals of your drone and I have a few suggestions to improve upon the designs. The rack you shared as well... The rack doesn't need all those wireless blocks, in fact you can undock by simply putting the button you already have...

Sgtwisky Thanks! I've got the video down packed right now, but... I need to practice what I'm going to say. Otherwise I'll spend 15 minutes rambling about how drone lasers vs drone missiles can ruin your afternoon. :p Dropbox or Google docs are both free and work quite well. Dropbox is...

So I was playing around with 5x5x9's and in about 5 minutes or so came up with this for you BrotherLazarus. Could use some more work and the area itself isn't terribly fitting for an eye-pleasing shape. But this does give some examples of what you can do with rectangles. I came to this design...
