Re: Mod idea: Repair pods
Repair drones would be brilliant for stranded ships. Also, by restricting the repair ability to drones you stop them from being too powerful because of the drone's limited lifespan.

Re: Mod idea: Repair pods
Can you send drones to your own ships? I don't think the Attack button works like that, and that could be a problem for repair drones.

Good point. Drones would nto work at all. Well, not very well anyway. You could move your pod ferry to the site of the damaged ships and launch the repair drones I suppose.

It could be an interesting way to resupply ships.

Wasn't that being fixed in the next patch? To where you can move drones without the attack order? I may be mistaken, in fact I probably am.

Yes. And no. The next patch will allow drones to "attack" warp points and warp through them. You still can't give a drone "move to" orders. |
