Deploy Tactical Drone

All Pelador's Drones:

Now includes regular MKI drones and their more secretive cousins the MK II drone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview:

With any ship equipped with:

Explorer Command Software
Special Command Software

and has the following wares:

Recon Drone
Warheads x 6.
Navigation Satallites x 6.
Cargo Bay Shielding (Required for MKII)

The ship can launch a drone that will fly to a chosen sector position and then on reaching its destination will convert to 6 tracker mines in a 3d Cross (+) orientation a distance of 1km from the drone. Note: you still have to arm the mines manually.

To order a ship that is equipped to do so simply go to the command console of the ship as normal, select special, then you will see a new menu called Special Drones then select "Deploy Tactical drone.". Its a fairly intuitive process after that. Select sector and position. Then select wether to launch a MKI or MKII Tactical drone.

Carefull use has to be applied with using tracker mines as they have no freind/foe discrimination once armed. And enemies will still attack tactical drones or tracker mines if discovered.

MKII Tactical drones are a little bit more secretive in getting to their destination. As a result all communications are lost and no details are recieved from its gravidar scanner to prevent possible detection. MKII Tactical drones need 1 unit of Cargo bay shielding to be applied to the drone.
