Okay, i did some adjustment for the engine attack time. i think it looks okay for the current gameplay at the moment.

i dont think version 8 got anything to do with cargo drone. they only tweak diplomacy and stuff

Does the mod work for 8x versions of the game?

@PruritoIntimo Untested. Feel free to post it here.

is it working with 7.5 betas?

@xceled There'a a bug with a scripted quest if you alter the engine speed, you can only alter the travel speed. You can check the changenote version.

Can they be like 100x faster? A thrust of like 5000 instead of 54? Sometimes the drones get lost very far away and my ships get stuck on recalling subordinates until they come back.

@Talos

Yes, it will work.

work @ v6.0?

I added this to my VRO game(s) and had no problems come up.

It does "seem" to be working well with VRO, and several other VRO mods, I have installed and running.

Sehr gut

Yes that's what I mean. Thank you and sry for my non-native english :-)

@Prior Micha You mean Boarding pods? I'll see what I can do.

Can you please add the enter capsules? Gladly as an addon. I would like to be able to send the enter capsule to take over a ship 500 km away without having to wait hours.

Since I'm sure not everyone wants that, it would be nice if you could make it optional.

I use VRO. It would be geat, if you can make it working with VRO.

was doing split quest in vro, drones had bombs on 'em but couldn't get 'em in hanger. so I disabled this mod and it fixed it, drones went right in. then I noticed other ships I owned that were split were not loading cargo drones. Especially ships provided by mods.

@Paltremal can be more specific? because I need to recreate the situation before I can fix it.

noticed cargo drones stopped docking on some ships after this

All races are scared of AI taking over the universe...

meanwhile the AI: [here put a cargo drone meme with a straw hat and "it ain't much" quote with visible travel speed].

@Oneshoeleft Yes it would be nice too, But i can't seem to find where the dev put the default code is.

Odd this isn't showing up in my extensions list.

This guy gets it

in order to add a little intelligence to the captains of merchant ships, they fly directly to the xenon destroyer or to the enemies.

@jpinard Only adding travel drive and engine speed. Does not conflict with the other mods unless they messing with the drone engine.

Does this affect performance in any way?

@Dr. Igor Dolvich : Disarming cargo drones would seem a solution in your case. B nice if *disarmwed* was the default..

@desertmomof5 They do eventually return in vanilla, but their default travel speed is like 50m/s. This causes issues if you have cargo drones collecting dropped loot or whatever. I've had it happen multiple times where one of my L/XL ships will continuously have a "Recall Subordinates - Drones" order issued when telling them to move somewhere else. This is extra annoying when you realize your cargo drones are like 3 sectors away and are moving incredibly slow to return to you.

This has plagued me for years now. Another option might be to make the default *Disarmed* in the LOADOUT tab.

Do they still return even if you don't have this mod? Like it just takes longer, or do they blow up?

Gotta go fast!

I would be very pleased if this works without a hitch.
This really is a never ending issue that plagues the player experience. It's not exactly a true fix but it's a very good start.

let's see if it works with VRO. Drones suck in every universe, vanilla or modded. :D
