== Drone Interaction == | |||

[[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. | |||

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]. | |||
