I agree with kieffer5101 about adding the tegship info in some form of description.
Drones ++ (BETA 0.6)
MacGhriogair Ok then. I will be releasing 0.5 very, very soon! (half an hour, sound good?)
- Edited
0.5 0.5 ---THE UPDATE OF CHANGE--- 0.5 0.5
So, it's not the best title for an update, I'll admit but honestly with all the whiches and whatsats that I have changed, this is the best name I could think of, and honestly, it's fitting!
Even if it doesn't look like much, this is the most work I have done on an update in the history of Drones ++. I have poked every part of this mod with a Scavanger Grade Poking StickTM , trying to make sure every part of it was squeaky clean for update 0.5! Now, a few of these changes may be controversial, I mean, in any update, what changes aren't controversial? I'll try my best to walk you through them, so they aren't that controversial, so listen up peps!
+ Drone Cores now have a ring in blueprint mode, showing the area they will power!
The area in which drones power can be a little bit controversial, am I right? I bet you often say to yourself "Do i need another core here?" or "Does this core reach this cannon?". Well with the help of this Powering Area RingTM , you'll never have to guess again!
+ Added a logo to the title screen
So long as you don't have another mod installed that does a similar thing, on the title screen you may notice a little drone, attached to the Cosmoteer logo, how cute!
+ Drone cores are now a little explosive!
As you know, Reactors supply power, and are explosive. Drones also supply power, but are not explosive. Well that has now changed! Drone Cores now deal a small amount of explosive damage when destroyed, both reducing parts and exploits, at the same time! It isn't as significant as a reactor explosion, but it can still cause chain effects, and fire, so look out!
+ Remade textures for:
- the Drone Core
- the Large Drone Core
- the AI Module
- the Auto. Sensor
Yup! The veterans have had a long overdue update! Taking the place of the old textures are new, original textures and sprites with nice bevel edges and animations!
+ New "No Connection" Symbol!
Drones will now show a no WiFi symbol when they are out of range, as apposed to a no crew symbol! This will make it easier to understand for noobs why their drone core isn't working!
+ Changed part descriptions
After watching some of @MacGhriogair 's videos, I could clearly see where some of the part descriptions failed their purpose, most notably the @Teg ship reference. Although it was a fun an innocent joke at the time, I realize Players who are not familiar with the community will not understand what a @Teg ship is. Of course, the reference is still there, but I have added in the same measurements in meters, for reference. I have also changed some of the descriptions to fix a few misunderstandings.
+ Fixed a bug where parts were not being powered
+ Fixed a bug where the Large Drone Core remains controllable, even if there is no connection
+ Fixed a bug that caused the Auto. Cannon's icon to render incorrectly
+ Fixed a bug that caused some textures to inherit the color of the ship
Drones have a shorter delay when they go out of range.
NO MORE WAITING 30 SECONDS FOR THE INEVITABLE!** Drones will now take at most 10 seconds to power down when they go out of range! On the same note, they will now power up much faster when in range too!
+ Nerfed the sensor radius of the Auto. Sensor and the large drone core
I realized that, for it's size, the Auto. Sensor was just a little short of the Sensor Array's radius, making it far to OP.
+ Changed the Auto. Gun
- Nerfed the Auto. Gun's firing arc to avoid it shooting into the ship.
- Nerfed the Auto. Gun's accuracy
- Nerfed the Auto Gun's damage
- Increased the Auto. Gun's Fire Rate
This was necessary to make way for the upcoming resurrection of the drone laser. Don't worry though, it still has the same DPS!
+ Easter Egg
Phew! Now that's over, here's the download! http://www.mediafire.com/file/3w62ln8rr8ott2y/Drones_%2B%2B.zip
Have fun Cosmoteering!
jbox1 + Easter Egg
WHERE IS IT?!?!?!
TheLastBeacon I won't tell you 
jbox1
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TheLastBeacon I'll give you a hint, it's a direct message to @MacGhriogair (well, when I say direct, I mean, it's in the mod for him to find. No, it's not in the definition files or anything)
jbox1
thank goodness!
jbox1 HEY, it's not my fault! I thought they did stack! 
Other than that, I like the changes 
MacGhriogair XD You find these things out VERY quickly when you are on the forum.
thanks! hope to see more of your videos soon!
I just found out about this
also i have a suggestion:
Drones Library
(Built in drones for the mod)
I posted this on the discord, but I think it's worth mentioning here, too:
Dude, there should be a Drone Shield. A 180-degree shield with a small radius that doesn't take much energy, but is rather weak. A med cannon would be able to do damage to the shield, and an electrobolt will outright destroy the module in two shots (if even possible!)
7 days later
I have to warn you: With the latest version of Cosmoteer released (0.13.2), the Mod is no longer compatible and does not work. The main reason is probably from the newest sprites not conforming to a dimension standard just recently set - All sprites must have their sides be a multiple of 64. No more, no less.
Please fix your sprites so we can enjoy this awesome mod! Thank you!
Other than the sprite size requirement the ammo specification format was slightly changed in 0.13.2 so the specification of wifi in the mod.txt needs to be fixed.
Equalizer It´s interesting to see someone with so much knowledge about modding (at least "much" from my point of view) didn´t make any bigger mods him/herself yet.
Drakador_Chaos I can modify or fix stuff (for instance I've patched the mods I am using to 0.13.2 which is why I know there's a code change need to make Drones++ work) but creating something from scratch (particularly images for animations) takes a long time. So unless I have an idea for something that is very different from what already has been done I doubt I will make a big mod.
RandomCommander Equalizer Drakador_Chaos Bugger, I need to get to work! Luckily finding the offending sprites shouldn't be too hard (I hope), and I can easily rescale them using Paint.net.
