(Broken and Abandoned) ASP Drone Spawn Test MES Mod

This mod is a proof of concept for my next Modular Encounters mod that I'm working on.

It will add a single grid spawn for Modular Encounters that spawn with 2 drones attached that will activate and disconnect from the station when the player is detected by a sensor.

After working on my WAL Fleet mod, I was always considering building a mod that adds an enemy faction. one of the ideas for it was to have drones that spawn in with the stations/bases and "activate" when a player gets near. Another player suggested that others had tried this without success but I seem to have a found a way to make it work.

The drones in this mod use remote control blocks from drones in the base game so there is no extra mods or scripting required to make it work, testing on my own system has shown it to work but I would like to know if it works for others.

For this station, the drones are activated when the player accesses the station through the door on the landing pad. The sensor then triggers a series of timers to open the bay door, power the drones, and then disable the connectors holding them in place.

As the drones are using built in remote controls the intelligence of the drones is limited.

The next step in building the enemy faction will be to figure out and test the use of Rival AI to hopefully provide better movement and targeting for the drones. After that I will finally be able to build the faction and include the AI Enabled spawners as well.

P.S. - There is a control panel that will disable the start up of the drones in the interior of the station, if you get to it quickly enough, it's free resources. Be mindful though, the station is armed, but should allow players to land a small craft, or jet pack onto the landing pad safely.
