[APck] AutoPillock Core 1.0

AutoPillock is general-purpose control script with focus on grid movement, formation management and combat.



This script sums up most things I've made in areas related to grid flight: combat, autodocking, formations, missile, clangdrives, weapon controls, gravity drives, and similar.
It has a few unique traits:

• drones/missiles using custom propulsion and PMW (jolt guns, etc)
  
• drones can use missiles
  
• grid is behavior-driven and can drastically change its style of operation based on how user programs it (difference between missile/drone/carrier/miner/etc is not a thing anymore)
  
• 1-directional thrust support for various kinds of tasks, including autolanding, using fixed guns and formation flight
  
• Planetary circumnavigation for any tasks (going around for a beyond horizon target)

The idea was to make as feature-rich and flexible solution for drones as possible, without compromizing performance.

A word of warning, this script is user-unfriendly and has little to no feedback output due to Keen PB character limit. If you want to customize stuff and utilize it to full potential, you absolutely must read through documentation.

Common opinion is that this script is for advanced users only, but anyone can benefit from simple blueprints and pre-configured flight behaviors shared here.

Get the reference drone and paste it near an enemy, or pass it to pirate faction.
If you spawn many, they would share targeting data and help each other.
The drone is equipped by two "item-nuke" missiles, it would use them with configurable probability.

You can use TGP targeting pod script for advanced raycast ("LIDAR") tracking and many other targeting features.

Get the carrier control module blueprint, it has drones included.
Watch demos there, read the description for how to use it.
It got somewhat decent TMC menu set-up that would let you use it without reading too much docs and references.
