2)Energy hub. In it located the drone battery and the anti-gravity engine. From it work all weapon systems. After it loss, drone lost possibility to move and after some time switched off.
3)Drone CPU. Covered with a layer of special steel. Responsible for drone AI. After it destruction, drone lost possibility work in an automatic mode.
4)Rocket launcher. Primary drone weapon. Shoots homing missiles.

Known issues and bugs:
-To select another EGA to configure, you must first disconnect ACT from the first EGA. If you'll try to select EGA before it, the connection won't be created. Will be fixed soon.
-If you put EGA too close to ACT, then when you switch back to the ACT, connection terminates.
-Sometimes, EAD does not look in the direction in which the flies.

To-do list:
1) Possibility to buy different improvements for your EGA on two slots: left and right. For example: shield plate, anti-infantry turret, repair module, projectiles accelerator, loader module, mini-droids hangar, etc.
2) Changing ammunition type. For example: gas, plasm, dark matter, SERP, etc.
3) Cannon Coordination Centre (CCC). CCC is an AI, which will analyze situation on the battlefield and choose individual target for each EGA, it will improve their effectiveness.
4) Improved AI EAD.
5) Added new weapon systems for the EAD, including the possibility of using any weapon.

Big screenshot
This little mod adds a present. When it discharge on the ground, appears Christmas tree and it begins to snow. And remember: more trees, more snow (and more lags).
Note: Present located in the Tools tab.


Special thanks to Raseri for the Christmas tree sprite.

Gravity Control Center
This is my old mod that adds some Lua-items.

Stun Grenade
Stops all that got in range.

Chaotic Grenade
Objects moving chaotic within its range. Surrounded by a protective bubble.

Psycho Grenade
All actors who fall under its effects go crazy - they begin to move randomly, firing in all directions, fly up, etc. At the end of his action actors throw weapons and stop haunt to brain. Surrounded by a protective bubble.

Shield Grenade
Creates a protective bubble, which reflects most of the objects that fall on it without any consequences for actors inside.

Magnet Grenade
Attracts everything that gets in created sphere, with great force.

Jump Mine
When enemies approach, it jumps into the air and explodes. Sometimes it does not work.

ACD - Anomaly Control Device
This device allows the owner to pass through the protective bubbles, deactivate and create anomalies, and don't take any effect from following anomalies: Stun, Magnet, Chaotic, Shield. Does not interact with the Psycho anomaly.
Usage: For anomaly deactivation it's enough to shoot at the anomaly with ACD. To create an anomaly shoot at a proposed location. Creates a random anomaly.



Please, PM me if I made grammatic mistakes.
Special thanks to Mad_Alex for the help with translate.

There is no need to write three times that you are author of the mod, it is obvious.

Fixed. Thanks.

I tried the artillery and the gravity bombs.

The gravity bombs are interesting, and would be fun to use if not for the crashes. This is the same for the artillery. First time I see such an artillery system, so detailed and dynamic. Yet crashes way too much to become enjoyable. Seeing it's just a version 0.6 I'll let it pass and say this is very good.

I like your mods here, very good concepts. What I'd like to see are better sprites, better alignment with vanilla bunker modules and less crashes.

Update!
CIR has been updated to version 0.7.
Fixed crashes in the GCC.

Bravo! I think I'm having much less crashes now.

The artillery is really cool, especially with the control panel and everything.

The drone is a pretty good concept, to include multiple weapon systems, destroyable AI and thrusters. And it is very powerful in patrol AI mode.

The only down side is it needs better sprites. And the camera movement is making me dizzy.
