Drones are NPC ships that deliver commodities to and from locations. Drones can be interacted with by the player through hacking, draining, boosting, and attacking. Every drone has a destination and belong to one of three locations; Gemini Station, Mars, and Earth. Interacting with any of the drones will decrease or increase your reputation depending on where the Drone is from. You can tell which location a drone belongs to based on their image and/or name initials; EA is Earth, GS is Gemini Station, and MA is Mars.
