Whornet ASF (Area superiority drone)

IMPORTANT! This is now kept for nostalgic reasons. Full AutoPillock release is now available here:

Next iteration of the Xenon ASF.

================= Reasoning and changenotes =================

Recent update has severely reduced the effectiveness of poor Xenon drone. The problem raised because of the new logic behind vanilla turret targeting - it now takes into account line of possible fire for turret, and now it ignores targets in its back semi-sphere, thus making Xenon ASF unable to lock on forward targets.

I redesigned the platform, trying to keep low cost, mass and dimensions the Xenon ASF was famous* for.
* among a dozen of users lol

New platform has two designator turrets for reliable coverage and about 50% more thrust, along with slightly better protection and survivability.

Now it ships with two scripts services - Autopillock and TGP (targeting pod) for advanced target sorting, support for raycast locking, custom rotored turret mounts and much more.

================= Description from the Xenon ASF page =================

Area superiority drone.
Can be automatically produced as shown in the videos.
Aggroes at enemy types specified in it's turret checkboxes.
Fires rockets when closer than 300m, otherwise uses gatlings.

Usage:
CTRL-V drone, have fun. You can change them to pirate faction and then copy them. No aditional actions needed*

Autopillock is my unpublished (untill now) script for general drone control (docking, wingman, inertia strikes, rocket assaults, raycast locking, gravity drive control, evasive maneuvors, etc).

If you are into this, ask me in comments how to configure drone for more advanced stuff. All is included in it's script, but "as is" it utilizes like 1% of it's features.
