Just some random drones I'm testing a universal docking adaptor (to hook them onto universal docking ports) and chain docking/activation with.Wha... what is that?
Shouldn't the chained undocking be done with the extremity drone first? :PJust some random drones I'm testing a universal docking adaptor (to hook them onto universal docking ports) and chain docking/activation with.
I really like chain activation now, so much less trouble than drone launchers and other shenanigans.
I considered reverse-chain activation, but that requires a way to activate the last drone on the chain (propagation is about the same either way)Shouldn't the chained undocking be done with the extremity drone first? :p
Nice work. Love the chain docking.So this is how I spent my morning...
Waaait, do rail dockers send out a logic signal when they're docked onto something?I considered reverse-chain activation, but that requires a way to activate the last drone on the chain (propagation is about the same either way)
Basic design principle behind this was just to literally slap it onto a simple rail dock and undock it to activate them.
Suddenly I am reminded of those people in fps games who stop to reload because their lmg has 299/300 bullets. Only instead it the Charon in a shipyard and everyone is screaming as the server dies.Waaait, do rail dockers send out a logic signal when they're docked onto something?

Yeap, and yeap. Although repair mode should be used with caution, huge ships will lag out immensely. <_< it rebuilds your entire ship drones and all. Much easier to use the racks alone.Waaait, do rail dockers send out a logic signal when they're docked onto something?

You could use a shipyard, personally I avoid anything to do with them currently though.Waaait, do rail dockers send out a logic signal when they're docked onto something?

hey I had a thought (haven't read the whole thread yet) what about a rotating rack? so it would rotate as it spits out drones?Waaait, do rail dockers send out a logic signal when they're docked onto something?

You could always use push pulses...As cool as a rotating rack would be (rotating torus carriers are my favorite type of space carrier) its kinda unfeasible in starmade right now due to lack of momentum inheritance on undocking.
The magazine idea however works like a charm, and is one of the reasons I put together a undocking activation system for my drones.
Also has anyone tested flare drones?As cool as a rotating rack would be (rotating torus carriers are my favorite type of space carrier) its kinda unfeasible in starmade right now due to lack of momentum inheritance on undocking.

How did you layer them?Finally! The overhaul has been completed. Not only is the new implementation extremely robust, it is also fast :D
Can you upload your disable drone designMUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*chokes and dies*
@BDLS , you'll like this one
Skoome drones no longer work since a patch a while back.Can you upload your disable drone design
This actually stems from the tactical reload. Anyone that has to deal with getting shot at has it drilled into their head that the second you disengage, you top off. That one shot tends to be the difference between life and death.Suddenly I am reminded of those people in fps games who stop to reload because their lmg has 299/300 bullets.
