Drone issues

[SPiDER]

come on then hit me with how to get rid of drones.

Yes build a mamoth that needs a hundred..great transfer drone dross over...now how to eject them? or where to dump...maybe build a dock?? can a mamoth dock on a pier or does it needs that XL thing ...... maybe XL repair dock..but god that wont be quick..and I hace 2000 cargo and 2000 Defense drones to offload..


need some ideas


ARRRGHH and because I need building drones and have none its going to take 1hour 15 min to build the mamoth!!!!

Yeh I hate how when one orders Build Drones it instead gives you Cargo Drones randomly...

I am planning on trying to use an Osprey to move the drones off the station. Sure it is only 17 at a time but unlike XL ships it is a M ship so can use M maintenance bays to unfit them (a lot faster). Still not actually tried it so not sure if it will work.

Can state it will and does work..
Mammoth ( as long as you leave it with one cargo drone ) can move 100 at a time to stations with piers but is slow and docks slowly
Osprey can move 17 at a time
Cerberus can move 12
Queuing the orders up is odd too as the station dosent take into account the "queued" transfers so it looks like the " numbers " never change ..but in fact they do.
The best way to increase the drone count for a station is to add a shed load of defense discs..then do the shuttle from your drone afflicted station to the one that has free slots

Slow and tedious but does work

and all three ships can transfer all types of drones..

Just remember to untick " automatic resupply "

Here is an Idea the "ARG Drone Carrier Cerberus" how about removing its main guns and upping the drone quantity to say 25 or 30...then we would have a viable method of conveying drones in a timley manner until the Drone Logic gets fixed.

You could use the DRone carrier to harrass I and K as part of the War and use it to supply broken stations.
