Description:
----------

The Duelist Fighter Drone is the standard Strike Craft for the Vanquisher Mothership
and it's supporting fleet.

It is a very cheap and expendable drone craft, designed for short duration
and close range intercept missions.

Due to the small size of the craft it is easy to fit into tight hangar spaces.
The small signature also makes it relatively hard to hit,
which is needed, because by itself it is not very durable.
It is supposed to be used in groups to be effective.

It needs to be in range of an antenna, so it depends on what you define as "on it's own".

It can fly up to 50km away from the nearest antenna, so it is pretty much on it's own.
But you can't go outside of antenna range, because it is not a manned craft.

It also has only one battery, so flight range, especially on planets might be limited.

Can this operate on its own?

If you only have the drone by itself, you can press shift+K to open the menu that let's you control other ships. Find the Fighter Drone and press "control"

The Fighter Drone needs to be in range of an antenna and its own antenna must be on for this to work.

If the Drone is docked, you need to find it's remote control block in the console. It is abbreviated to "RC", so search for that and you shuold find it in the list.

Select the RC and press the control button in the middle column.

From there you are in control of the drone. Make sure that the drones antenna is activated and that is in range of an active antenna when you undock, otherwise you will loose control instantly.

Changed it in the description. Looks like I have different versions with different toolbars of the ships...
