Introduction
This mod adds several new pirate drones to provide a more challenging Player vs Environment (PvE) experience. Many of the drones included make use of custom behaviors, making them a bit more unpredictable when compared to vanilla pirate drones.
Many of these drones can pose a serious threat to players who start in space with minimal resources. Some of the drones can also attack players on small moons. Players starting on regular sized planets should generally be safe from these encounters.
Drone Types and Behaviors
Because this list is quite large, any will likely grow as more content is added, I've setup a Steam Guide page that contains information about the various drones and their behaviors.
You can access the guide by clicking here.
Requirements / Dependencies
This mod requires the following world options / mods to be enabled: - Modular Encounters Spawner - Enable Drones - In-Game Scripting
Recommendations
As of a recent update, the drones in this mod will now despawn if they are further than 20km from the player. Drones that cannot handle natural gravity will also despawn (until I am able to redesign them).
However, this mod does not clean up broken parts of drones, so you will still want to ensure your clean-up settings are tuned accordingly.
Compatibility
This mod is compatible with other content-adding mods included in the Modular Encounters Collection. Compatibility with other Exploration, Cargo Ship, or Pirate mods is not guarenteed.
Plugin Scripts
The following plugin scripts are available for this mod:
- Reduced Signals: Disables Antenna and Beacon signals on several drones.
September 2018 Update
With the release of the Modular Encounters Spawner, the dormant 'Boss Encounter' in this mod has been enabled. This encounter appears to players as a GPS Marker labeled "Dangerous Encounter", and if approached, will spawn a difficult drone to fight. If you are willing to take on this challenge, be prepared to possibly lose your ship - these encounters are not easy, even with weapon/shield mods enabled. More boss encounters will be added in the future.
Special Thanks
Huge thanks to Whiplash141 for providing code that allows much better drone manuevers in natural gravity!
