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??

This mod is not compatible with VRO for anyone who is using that.

hmm....strange. it for me it is the other way around. they work (or at least take off) when i am commanding the ship, but dont do shit when i am not in it.....
well, have meantime heard i am not the only one with that problem, lets see when they solve it... thx for the reply!

This mod changes nothing about behavior and only a few values in the drones macro file.

In my save with no mods I have the same problem if I am directly commanding the ship with drones. The new behavior only seems to work when you aren't directly manning the ship.

@rovermicrover, yeah i have read the part where they changed the behaviour...but that doesnt ecxplain that NO drone undocks at all unless i tell them to escprt. and when they are on escort they simply dont do anything other than flying around and getting shot at without shooting anyboty by themselves...

It is 3.0 compatible. It changes nothing about their behavior just some stats and enables an existing shield slot.

They did change the drones orders in 3.0. If you are having issues here is the place to report it.

Is this mod compatible with 3.0? my drones arent doing jack, just sitting there getting shot.

They change the drone behavior.

hi there, i am having problems with my defense drones since split vendetta. unless i tell them to "escort" they wont even undock...can it be any conflict with this mod? havent seen that before
and am using this and the improved scout mods only

Hi, does this mod conflict in any way with VRO ?

Your English is good!

Yes and it should be good for 3.0 when it come out.

Does the Mod run with Version 2.60?Sorry,my English it's not good!
