My mining corporation uses a lot of mining drones. Lately these mining drones are refusing to return to their drone bay. I have to command them a few times to make them listen. Are mining drones starting to rebel against their masters? Will they decide to kill thier masters? Will the athorities have to bring back the Blade Runners to terminate these drones?

Wait, the Drones are capable of listening to you? Since when? I seem to remember the drones trying their hardest over the past few years to do exactly what you don't want them to do, so this is hardly new. Also, HTFU.


In all seriousness, probably lost packets, if its just you. Other than that, well, the drone AI system has always been screwy.

Dan,

You must spank them more often.
I personally hold a small SM cave for them, in which they each
get a good round of spanking weekly YARRRR!!

I find it helps to talk to them as well as give the non-verbal commands through the interface.

With Tyrannis, I expected mining drones stealing ore from your cargo and bringing it back to the asteroid

Yeah... Kinda like that time in 06 when my drones decided you were a better target than the rats we were shooting, right? Laughing
