An executron is a PLAYER that controls a unit which can control units through the EXECUTRON INTERFACE. Upon starting a game, you can do a few basic things that the CEO can also do:
Shoot
Walk
Sprint
Interact with panels to build things
Crouch
Look Around
Control units (more info later)
And most importantly YOU CAN RESPAWN FOR FREE

All controls are in the F1 menu

An executron can do many things, and can be thought as of using archon mode for SC2 but you can control (and be) a unit.
An executron builds things (but only from consoles)
An executron advices your CEO on what to do (this won't annoy them at all)
An executron controls units from the Executron Interface to increase DPS, Speed, and Positioning
An executron controls units to scout without the CEO having to pay attention
An executron generally is in charge of dealing with AI factions, both killing and bribing, but can also help with alliances between players
Executrons can control, launch, and recall fighters
Executrons can kill those NASTY infestors for free!

An executron, upon spawning in the HQ, can walk forward and press E on the floating hologram looking thingy and enter the all powerful executron display.

In this mode, you can view your corporation's resources, all discovered space (including the galaxy map), and the Diplomacy screen.


An executron has FULL ACESS to diplomatic options, though it is highly recommended they only mess with the AI factions in case the CEO forgets to bribe them.

It is important to note that the executron can NOT TRADE. This is a major drawback and may change with time, as micromanaging trade can be very useful if you want to maximize money and minimize coolant in storage.

From the Executron Display, an executron can select (but not order) units and control them. This includes commands such as STOP or RELEASE FIGHTERS, making another drawback to executrons is the CEO must still micromanage carriers and fighter bays from the executron display. YOU CAN STILL MANAGE THIS FROM DIRECTLY CONTROLLING A ROBOT INSIDE THE CARRIER/FIGHTER BAY TO DO THIS THOUGH.

An executron can control all the same units the CEO can, therefore an executron can not speed up mining processes, another drawback to executrons (and more boredom)

The majority of the time, your "body" as an executron will reside in the same module of your corporation that your CEO resides in, the HQ. This room has a number of useful screens whose functions must be known to play an executron properly.

From left to right the screens are:

Cargobay - View all raw resources, resources, goods, and coolant present IN THE STATION

Starship Fabrication - Screen for creating capital ships, same GUI as the CEO's screen

Security Console - Very helpful for emergencies, allows for the quick raising, lowering of shields and activation and deactivation of turrets. Also, turrets can be controlled from this screen (it is important to note that the CEO must put the power back into regular mode after an executron messes with this panel!)

Fighter Control - When a fighter bay is built, and fighters have been launched, control fighters here.

From controlling a carrier, fighters can be launched from the console to the side. It is important to note that this can not be done from the executron display!

Executrons should be in charge of creating goods for the CEO, so they don't have to get up and do it themselves (or worse waste money making a robot)

Telepads can be used by interacting with the console to set destination, then clicking the telebeam button. To teleport, stand in the middle of the pad before the 5 second count down finishes.

Executrons can build, recall, control, and watch fighers deploy.

BUG: Station map locaters disappear after teleporting.
