+== Levels ==
+When a drone earns XP equal to 100 X current level, the drone will level up.
+=== XP ===
+Drones receive XP for various activities. Drones do not earn XP for selling or buying items to [[Gemini Station|Gem]].
+* 1 XP for each trip taken.
+* 1 XP per item purchased.
+* 1 XP per items sold.
+=== Max Drone Level ===
+<br>
+Note: There is a bug that allows drones to reach level 61
+== Drone Interaction ==
+Interacting with other player's drones is similar to interacting with other player's ships. You can drain, boost, attack, or hack drones. The cool-down for interacting with a specific drone is 10 minutes.
+== Drone Management ==
+[[File:Screen Shot 2021-01-12 at 8.42.07 PM.png|thumb|The drone management screen with 2 drones. ]]
+From this screen you can see an at-a-glance view of all of your drones.
-=== Earth ===
+Note: Drones that are idle will have an * next to the drone name.
-=== Mars ===
+== Drone Combat ==
-=== Jupiter ===
+Pilots are able to scan and fire on other pilot-owned drones. In order to successfully damage a drone the following must occur:
-=== Eris ===
+# The pilot's targeting roll must beat the drone's evasion roll
-=== Gemini Station ===
+# The pilot's attack roll must beat the drone's defense roll
+If those two things occur, then the pilot's ship will roll for damage.
+Note: Both [[Damage Reduction Attribute|damage reduction]] and [[Damage Reflected Attribute|damage reflection]] mechanics are active for any [[mods]] installed on the drone with those attributes. Additionally, the crit mechanic is active as well for the pilot's ship.
+If the drone is not defeated, its shields are restored, but any armor HP remain lost until the drone reaches a destination and repairs are paid for by the drone's owner.
+=== Defeated Drone ===
+When a drone is defeated, the following occurs:
+* All unshielded cargo (selected at random) is jettisoned into the space lane.
+* A random amount of [[Miscellaneous Garbage|miscellaneous garbage]] is also spaced––to illustrate pieces of the damaged drone adding to the garbage of space.
+* There is a 15% chance (applied to each mod, individually) that installed mods on the defeated drone will be destroyed. When a mod is destroyed, it's converted into a broken mod, and the original mod, along with its attributes are gone. Forever. Mourn the loss of your mod and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKOrr4XRbg8&feature=youtu.be&t=17 move on].
