![Post Post](./styles/images/imageset/icon_topic_latest.gif) Multi-purpose Mini Drone-The answer to annoying chores in CC
Mining gold, repairing bunker walls, cleaning gibs, looting guns, setting up mine-fields, kamikaze, rescuing stuck actors. These are not the tasks that should be left for your slow and clumsy actors(basically anything other than combat).
Basically, I want an airborne drone that: -stays in the air -is about the size of an actor's head, -is small, agile, can get out of danger quickly -can be equipped with different tools(diggers, concrete sprayers, bombs) for different situations -weakly armored, for balance
It will be manually controlled, of course, but think of how much more efficient it can do these things than a regular actor. It can also be equipped with a gravitational hook, to transport dreadies, tanks, turrets, or any other ground-only units across the battlefield! Think of da possibilities!
Optional stuff: There could be pre-equiped versions of it. It could also be accompanied by a small holding bay to station it in the base for quick deployment. Also, small passage modules for it to reach different parts of the base or map safely and quickly.

How's this for size: ![Image](http://9y5a8w.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pMqUHNaEPhmwQwvvzLkPmGSic97B30d0KNL7qJdV2u_TtddA7UnjuirCPzP3lrP7wGCGYa2Jr5GC7-jEfXzyKYj61gdw-aEwz/minidrone.PNG) It's going to be a modification of the assault drone thingies in Lua Guns. I'll try to implement as many features as I can. Edit: Okay, the drone is pretty done now, albeit the sprites are a bit shitty. The thing is a dropship with an attached AHuman turret. It has to be ordered in a dropship, and the turret will have in it's inventory whatever stuff it was ordered with. Now we just need some tools and weapons and such to go with it.

Size is perfect. But it being a dropship, will it have aimable tools? And it may auto scuttle when stationed in your base.

Its tools are aimable and its autoscuttle is not a common occurence if it's based on the assault drone.

Okay, sprites are finished, so is the digger. What other tools should it have?

Looks great! So, it's going to come with all tools on delivery, or is it customized? In any case, thank you very much for making this ![Bow :bow:](./images/smilies/anj_bow.gif) Tools: cement gun, yes. A gravity hook that can lift items, and a mine-layer.

It comes with whatever it was bought with. The concrete gun is easy to make, the gravity hook needs some tinkering with. Though I have a rather good idea on how it should be done. The minelayer I have already done too.

This looks awesome I like the idea of a gravity hook cause on more than one occasion i have ended up burning my own solders face off with my thrusters when i try and get close to pick them up ![Mad :x](./images/smilies/anj_angry.gif)

I'm back from being away for a week, and I'll start working on this again. I'll use the grappling guns made by Roon3, Kyred and Stophe as a basis for the gravity hook.

Okay, I just need Roon3's permission and I'm ready to release. Meanwhile, some pictures: ![Image](http://9y5a8w.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pFbsTAmthRKnZmcpzx43qMyJ0j3NSHrZTcPXIYEtgYUbe0EkdVMO0v4sl-QKjbNyz0jryuwb5JfyiiAyodSiM1nLXt8e5gxZb/ScreenDump019.PNG) ![Image](http://9y5a8w.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p8jtI9WetYbr4V9cSkNdo1q2IA1xLUcbz-4W6wSiNhp_0AhIMoVmArsVbjxVPWNTEjOFcO6d6YAqvN8tUYc8b9MLucqWQun6z/ScreenDump020.PNG) Also, Barnox, what do you mean by auto-salvager?
