== Levels ==

When a drone earns XP equal to 1 X current level, the drone will level up.

When a drone earns XP equal to 100 X current level, the drone will level up.

=== XP ===

Drones receive XP for various activities.

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 ===

60

<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.

Note: Drones that are idle will have an * next to the drone name.

== Drone Combat ==

Pilots are able to scan and fire on other pilot-owned drones. In order to successfully damage a drone the following must occur:

# The pilot's targeting roll must beat the drone's evasion roll

# 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].

Ships can attack drones while in the same space lane.

Energy Cost: 10

== Notes ==

* Facilities whose production is paused due to full capacity will be resumed when a drone removes items from that facility.

* Pilots receive no XP for drone activity.

* Pilots receive no location reputation for drone activity.
