drones

A shell for a refinery ship with mining drones.

The Combat Salvage CS-A150-M is a mining drone carrier, with minimal interior, and no weapons. carries 4 drones, each having 5 groups of 10 salvage moduals. Includes Captains Cabin, crew cabin, bridge, and reactor room.

Larger ship mobs seem to be more functional recently, and now I'm wishing for a way to bulk fill & spawn identical ships in MP as a player. Admin mass spawn is fine for testing, but there should be a way for players themselves in MP to get their fighter and drone swarms into play without...

Hi, This post assumes that I've read the proposed changes to power and that this doesn't change. According to what I viewed every weapon essentially has its own capacitor build in and takes charge from the reactor in the priority that is set. In theory if missiles or docked is set to the...

when i try to use mining drones the just sit there. i give the fleet order 'mine this sector' and the flip around and point at the asteroids but do not move. when i use 'carrier recall' they again flip around and point at their designated pickup point but do not move. even their thruster plumes...

Everyone familiar with RTS is familiar with a tool called "Rally Points." That is the specific focus of this suggestion. Rally points tell new made units where to go and what to do and which group to join automatically to reduce micromanagement. It would be very helpful if every station and...

Hey, everyone! Markus_McCloud once again! So I've seen countless threads commenting about additional Astronaut Mode equipment. You know the ones: "We need jet-packs!" "We want more guns!" "We need to improve helmets!" Yada yada yada... There is some gear that I've yet to see mentioned...

A recent thread discussing ground Units prompted many to share images of drop ships and planetary scaled entities. My question is this: Have players crafted aircraft that lack the capability of space flight (can't escape gravity), but would otherwise fly around in the atmosphere of a planet...

I have been drone mining (using fleets, of course) more and more lately. After extensive fine tuning of my drones, my carryall, and my technique I'm really loving it now. As a family man who works from home and often needs to be AFK unexpectedly while playing SM, I've found that mining drones go...

Finally - a ready-to-use, efficient mining & survey ship for the casual player! The Monk has a strong primary mining array that can clean up whole asteroids on its own within a couple of minutes. Besides that, it has 3 efficient small mining drones that finish asteroids quickly. They move on...

Curious - does anyone know if there's a particular technical reason why the fleet mine command is MINE THIS SECTOR rather than MINE (as in, "mine everything loaded within sight of the command ship"), or is this more likely some form of control to prevent too much AFK mining (ie to limit it to...

Say you have a bunch of drones, combat drones, mining drones, whatever. Maybe you need to warp away from danger or some of the drones get destroyed, wouldn't it be great if you could see how many you had recovered so you knew exactly how many you needed to replace without having to count them...

Hello, I've only been playing for a week or two. I've finally gotten to the point where I made a mothership/carrier and a bunch of drones. I have a lot of the "Soul Drones" famous here, but I also made a bunch of "support drones" (one is supposed to be a healer, the other is Ion Missles and...

This cute little monster is the mid-game miner for Xack's Evil Faction. He has twin salvage arrays that shoot from his eyes and pull beams the emanate from his claws. His interior has some space open for the further customization of the miner. He also employs two 'Crawler'-class drone miners...

The LSD entry for Drone Wars Season 2. This pack consists of 5x Kabuto RHO drones as well as 26x Gryllos mk3 drones. The new mark 3s include further optimization towards the power supply systems and some restructuring of the on board weapons. End result, more powerful main cannons, and less...

An idea to set a fleet comand option for ships to "self distruct" by overheating. The overheat time would be about twice as long, so boarders could cancel the overheat or you could go out and salvage all your drones to replace them. Works extremely well with Slavage beam vein mining..

Different sized Drones controlled by AI that can be released by a ship and fly around either for Offense, Defense or just for fun. Or a Spy Drone, Or just a Drone with a Camera so you can move around without actually moving your character or your ship. Also, Drone Swarm.

This is my Third Fleet Submission Includes 1: Fighter Destroyer 1: Drone Carrier 1: Shuttle (Docked in Destroyer) 1: Drones (Docked to Carrier) They are only know as the White Fleet. They hunt Pirates.

This is a remake of the blitz-tech pirate drone. The only reference that I had was the picture on this thread. I tried my best to recreate the look and shape of the original. It is armed with two 4 barrel cannons as its only armament. It is more or less cannon fodder for the pirates but is much...
