Drone Repair Assistance Software

Uninstalled, verified integrity of game files and reinstalled and that seemed to fix it. No references came up when running that statement. Thanks for the help and the mod!

about drone visuals: they follow waypoints attached to the parent ship, and M ships with drone capacity only have one waypoint inside their hull so are never visible. best I could do is just have them appear launched to show that the repairship is busy and expose them to being destroyed in combat which would recalculate their total repair power.

about components: currently the damage limit is based on the hull value for the client ship. in base game, the engineer assigned to the client ship will randomly select a component to repair, which does receive the drone bonus, but the repairship does not have insight on this local engineer's activity and I don't know how much it would affect FPS to iterate components for all affected ships, so it's a possibility in future versions.

about Atlas E: I do see the software when building one at a Paranid shipyard. to find mods that replace that ship macro, from Extensions path:
findstr /pinsc:"ship_par_xl_resupplier_02_a_macro.xml" *.cat

That was AWESOME!
Boarded 2 "Buffalos" in "Hatikvah's Choice" simultaneously, and then my "Syn", 2 "Hyperions", and "Behemoth" helped fix their hall to ~90, and all 3 engines to workable state.

What they didn't do, is help fixed everything else I broke. So did I understood correctly, they stopped because the drones on the "Buffalos" stopped repairing, so no need for help?

Also my misunderstanding was they launch the actual drones to target, because in 700 hours I never noticed that repair drones are lunched from the same spot as cargo drones.

Anyway, this mod together wit "Bail and Board" are godsend, and made the actual boarding enjoyable ( No more waiting 30 minutes for breach, 10 for fight, and 20 for repair of 1 engine ).

I don't see the software available on the Atlas E, I am seeing it on other ships however. I'll try some other Auxillaries when i get the funds.

Ok, I found the E variant ship macros, version 1.02 should enable the software for them. Thanks @Arthur Revan !

For Hyperion yes, thanks.
I don't use VRO.

@Arthur Revan did the 1.01 patch add the software for Hyperion? The (Behemoth E) does have a patch file in the mod: "ship_arg_l_destroyer_01_a_macro.xml" so it should be available. I did have an extended struggle getting the software to appear for all ships until I discovered that VRO was fully replacing ship macros after my mod in the load order, maybe something similar is happening for you with another mod?

Managed to snatch Behemoth E from Scale Plate, 4 S Docks, but no access to the Software...
Is that an oversight or deliberate?
It like perfect for Combat Medic, not as good as XENON H but still.

also with Osprey Drone Collection, there's an M ship that can scavenge drops after an engagement using cargo drones. I keep one following my Reaction Fleets as a utility

@Dram they would have a role to fulfill then at least. In Vanilla they are rather lackluster.
