Default Re: Drones!!

As for crusie missle aspect, this would have to probably be studied maybe by SJ, Hadirian, and some of the other expert Modders who could give idea what would work or is possible. I'm only guessing here, but they could be used similiar to ship as far as being controlled by the player similiar to a KK. once launced you control them to their target. Problem would be fuel/supply/distance once launched, also should they have cloaking?? If you ever read Dave Webers "In Death's Ground" series it shows what a drone and worm hole missles do.
Maybe just have it that when sent thru wormhole they attack 1st enemy ship/base available. I don't think they should target ftrs or sats tho, I think we may be confusing Drones with Worm Hole capable missles. If we could combine both or make 2 seperate type units it would be excellent one as drone with capabilities some have mentioned in this thread and the missle aspect which some of the other like.

just some ideas mac
