Customizing drone builds #210

Open Tree3324417 opened 9 months ago

Implement toggleable option for modders to allow editing build used by specific drone bays with player equipment. This could either be done through allowing quests to open menu to editing specific default AI builds (with restrictions) or allowing drone bays to have a toggleable option to edit used drone build.

While this would (in my opinion) be a creative and fun way to expand the functionality of drones, this would also introduce new considerations to the way dronebays are handled.

Two dronebays of the same type would no longer necessarily be equivalent. Having stock ones and modified ones of the same type would mean these dronebays have to be handled similar to more of the same ship with different builds, which needs a clear distinguishing factor to be easy to manage in the inventory.

Nevertheless, for what it's worth, I believe this would be a good step into the direction of making the drone system more fun to use.

It does not hurt to have a turret compartment, too, with its own settings and a separate line in the game interface....

Alternatively, a batch of components that can only be installed on drones may be needed to rebalance the strength of the drones. This will be a complex behavior.
