    What I'm thinking is adding either of two choices:



    A.) A mode for the BOBBY AI to act as a repair drone, floating around your ship with a technobeam. *note*- this can also be used as an attack craft, with technobeams replaced by missiles or lasers, just be careful not to get him focused on you!

    B.) A repair drone hangar block, spawns one repair drone, similar in shape to the Hawken drones or Starcraft probes. These drones exit their hangars when they sense a damaged block on your ship, and float over to repair them. Once finished, they retreat.



    What do you think? Constructive criticism is welcome.

    you can put repair beams on an ai, but they won\'t use them. while it would be nice to just make them register with the ai, it would require a rework of the targeting system as currently they just target the core. as far as the drone hanger block goes, pre-made entities don\'t fit the build-it-yourself style of starmade.

    Use the same targeting parameters as the pirates, but have the drone orbit the craft at random, and fire continuously. It\'ll eventually sweep across the damage. What, were you in a hurry?
