Recalling drones?

Post by Damian Swift » Fri, 31. May 13, 17:22

Is there any way to recall Drones to your ship? Or do you just have to scoop them up after deployment?

Just scoop I am afraid, unless you want to go modded, in which case I think there is a script, which will teleport them back aboard. :)

You can order them to stop (command: none), which makes them a lot easier to scoop up. They still use energy though, so if their energy levels are low you might not have time to collect all of them, depending how many you dropped.

They do dock at ships that have fighter hangar space.

In TC I believe both "Follow <Player-owned ship with fighter docking>" & "Protect <Player-owned ship with fighter docking>" (the latter after cleaning up enemies should result in drones docking & reverting to cargo (to prevent crash non-landings, try to make them OOS landings at a ship other than the Playership).

In AP of late, I've personally been picking them up manually 'cos even OOS they've just been approaching the TM & parking.
