These multipurpose drones are used for a lot of tasks outside of the ship. A drone can be armed with a warhead and used as a missile, or used for mining ores, or salvage operations with a salvage head as well as sensor operations with a sensor suite. There may be future functions as well (Decoy, Trading, Sentry, Transport and so on). Drones require the "drone Tool" to be modified and changed.

How to change a drone

To change a multipurpose drone to a new function it needs to be moved from the drone rack to the drone repair station. With a Drone tool equipped the player can now start modifying the drone.

There are four things that can be modified in a drone.

  1. Drone head
  2. Drone internals
  3. Drone Thrusters
  4. Drone Programming and navigation
