TCH-Y Ball Drone Mk II

Description
Had to re-upload this since the damn thumbnail was being stubborn.

Description:
The TCH-Y Ball Drone Mk II (developed by NCI) is a combat drone designed for hunting unfriendly (and potentially armed) personnel and small enemy ships. The drone is equipped with a total of four 20mm gatling cannons (two on each side) and two anti-ship rocket pods. It can travel in practically any environment, meaning whatever or whoever you're searching for will be found and dispatched in an efficient (and possibly brutal) manner.

Things of Note:
The original design of this ship came from a friend of mine who gave me permission to redesign and update the ship to make it more viable for interplanetary flight and combat. It was also slow as molasses. The ship's design is a matter of form over function, so things like ice for the O2/H2 generator cannot be properly refueled, so this ship is not the most viable for a survival scenario in its current form. To add, the ship's forward dampening thrusters are located inside the ship, so if you plan to use this in any way, make sure thruster damage is turned off in the world settings.



Thank you again for stopping by to look, and I hope you enjoy the ship. Leave any feedback below.

I seem to have solved my issue, one of my loaded mods was affecting the rotors of the build causing it to fling around.

@Communist Weeaboo I'll take a look at the drone and see if I can replicate the problem.

The drone just sort of sits there spinning around for me. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

Thank you. The drone part of the name is mostly for the namesake, as "ball drone" sounds just a bit more pleasing than something like "battle ball" (as cool as battle balls are). It's simply a flyable ball-shaped ship with drone as part of its name, but I'm sure you could slap a programmable block into the ship and run a defense drone script.

this is very interesting, how does the drone work?
