PvE Planetary Base Bombardment

Description
Note that this is currently a bit broken. The RC block thinks flying through your base is a great way to get to a waypoint 700m above it.

This mod will add an NPC cargo ship to planets with atmosphere. Its cargo is about 1k missiles. It would like to dump them on your base.

It will:
1. Search for powered enemy bases within 5km
2. Move in closer to scan for sustained power usage
3a. Leave if the base remains depowered for some time
3b. Attempt to poke a sizeable hole in your base if it remains powered

It requires the Modular Encounters Spawner to spawn it and the NPC Programming Extender for a good chunk of its functionality. Big thanks to MeridiusIX/Lucas for making these NPC frameworks. They have the potential to add a lot of depth to the game.

The blueprint for the ship used was also made by Lucas and can be found here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=742800543
I was inspired to make an aggressive NPC out of it when I saw it.

I also used some code from 2crashandburn's drop point script for navigation: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=917514554

Let me know if the script for this ship derps out in a specific scenario. I don't think it'll work too well if your base is > 600m underground.

Any chance of this getting updated to fix the flight issue? One of the best mods if functional imo

So this mod doesn't work for me, i have both the required mods to have it working but it doesn't even spawn in even tho my base is powered, am i doing something wrong?

This thing used to be a horror, now it just crash lands whenever it gets close to base lmao.

Thanks for reporting the issue!

Something has changed with Keen's autopilot. The RC block this ship uses can't deal with the final bombardment waypoint above the target. It's super annoying and time consuming to debug, let alone to find a workaround. I'll try and fix it when I get time.

Yep can confirm, the platform literally just falls from the sky, never actually makes it to the bombardment position
