Increase time for drones

[shadowblayde]

Hi,

I would like to increase the time that fighter drones last.

Could someone tell me if this is possible, and if so, where to find the code (I do have X3 editor 2).

Thanks,

SB

I'm pretty sure that the lifetime of drones is hardcoded.

Naturally, when you pick them up again, they're lifetime is reset and you can use them again. So script-wise you could automate the pick up / return process (e.g. by "teleporting" them back to your ship) to increase their lifetime. Or you watch their lifetime and recreate them, once they are destroyed (excluding external causes such as weapon fire by other ships).
