===Controlling Drones=== A single drone can be told what to do as a Free Action. You can give a command to all your drones as a Half Action. Commands are: *Attack: The Drone attacks a chosen target with any weapon it has. If the target is out of range, the drone will try to get closer The user can specify the rate of fire and which weapons are used, if the drone has more than one. If unspecified, it defaults to the lowest possible number of shots from its strongest weapon. *Protect Me: The Drone will spend the time until the user's next turn in closest possible proximity to them, trying to get in between the user and anything harmful. *Move to a location *Use Equipment: The drone uses a piece of equipment it has specified by its owner. Should the task require a test, test the Drone's characteristic or corresponding Skill, unless it's remotely controlled. *Enter a Mode: This is different from the other orders, as the Drone can have only one Mode at a time, and continues to behave along its Mode's guidelines. It can be given orders while in a Mode, and returns to the Mode's defined stance after carrying them out. All Drones' default mode is Follow, which is switched to "Standby" if the AI decides it won't receive any orders in some time(the reason might be, for example, the owner sleeping). ====Drone Modes:==== The modes a Drone can enter are determined by its Program. *Follow - The Drone does nothing but follow its owner, maintaining a close proximity and waiting for orders. *Task - The Drone must be issued an order while entering this mode. It will continue to carry it out until it's finished or the Drone is recalled(user's choice). *Standby - The Drone stays in place, shutting down unnecessary systems and lowering the energy use. It can be "woken up" with a command, and needs a turn to activate fully. *Combat - The Drone follows the owner and engages on targets in sight. Target preferences can be set. *Guard - The Drone attacks anyone trying to harm its owner. Tolerance levels can be set. *Scout - The Drone sets out to the specified coordinates, trying to gather as much information as possible. *Sentry - The Drone protects a defined place. Tolerance levels can be set. *Watch - The Drone conceals itself if possible and monitors the specified area, providing any intel it gains. *Remote Control - The Drone is controlled by the operator himself. Only with suitable gear. *Custom Order - The operator tells the AI what to do, and it follows along the best interpretation it can provide.
