AI command block

[starhaiden]

AI command block is a block that can control AI ships of your faction.

• AI command block could have double the amount of a range then sector size.
• Bobby AI module only work within range of a friendly ship with a AI command block
• AI ships will not leave the range of a friendly AI command block and try to stay about 200m from the control ship or station
• station and ships can have the block
• 
  
• With the block you can make all friendly AI ships do what you want.
• What you can command them to do:
• Come to your ship or station
• patrol the area around your ship
• attack all unfriendly entities with range
• defend command entity
• don't attack
• move to a certain object or block

AI ships will automatically become joint to the closest or biggest friendly ship or station with a command block
you can set the amount of ship a command block can control.
The command block only effects AI ships and will not effect turrets and turrets AI work when joint to a ship.
If the AI ships hasn't been within range of a friendly ship with a command block for over a day then anyone with a command block can reactivate it and claim it as their own.
The command ship has to be bigger then the ships it commands.

though this might be old... I have a similar idea as well where you can control nearby friendly AI ships to follow, attack, repair/support and so on.
