    Been working on some drones lately and totally stumped on this. Selected target turrets work perfectly fine but their drone counterpart don't. Now I understand the turrets and how they only obey the main entity's selected target so I though it'd be the same way with drones. Nope when I undocked the little monster from the rail it just sat there totally ignoring what it was told to go after by the main entity while the turrets setup to do the same thing just went firing along like they were told to do. Is there a fix coming for this or am I doing something wrong?

    Turrets work because they're attatched to you, there's a player on the entity chain that has selected a target. Drones do not because there is no player on the entity chain to select anything.

    Well that's annoying, the AI Module needs a selection in it to tell it what main entity to obey for Selected Target That way once undocked it'd still go after the selected target.
