Improved Defense Drone

In 1 collection by rovermicrover
"Improved" Vanilla Collection
16 items
Description
Buffs defense drones to be faster and more agile to try and catch up with their commanding ship. Also decreases hull points but gives them shields to make up the difference.

This should slightly increase their survivability, while removing the need to have them dock after every fight because they wont get left behind no longer a thing.

No, drones fully respawn every time they launch so after a while everyone should be updated.

does this need a new save?

Ooh, you know what would be a great thing to fix?
Drones should use travel drive to catch up to your ship if you leave them behind. I had some repair drones outside a destroyer for a very long time trying to repair but it was going to take hours if not days at the rate they were going. And I wanted to move on without losing the drones but ultimately I just left them behind and they (apparently) despawned.

Also note all this does is modify two exciting attributes and adds a shield to an existing shield slot.

Not sure if this is compatible with that mod

not sure why but since installing this and heavy defense drones when my ship launches defense drones they take off and then disappear instantly..lost so many drones already lol.

this mod seems fun at first, but later when i start to assault xenon station, now the drones swarm with this mod become a real headache.
i practically no longer use/rely on drone anymore, so not using this at the end.

Thanks for the quick response!

VRO overwrites fully every file it touches. So there isn't anything I can really do.

Is this mod still incompatible with VRO??
