Description
I created this little drone for use with the Oxbow and tried to make it as simple as possible. This drone can be docked to any ship by adding a rotor as a docking point. This is made possible by the small rotor head attached to the bottom of the drone. To create a docking point for the drone I place a rotor on my ship with the 90-degree mark facing the direction I want the drone facing when its docked. I then delete the rotor head and check the “rotor lock” box in the rotor's options menu. I then add “attach” and “detach” options for the rotor to the ships hot bar for docking and undocking the drone and it's all set. This ION thruster only drone is not intended for use in atmospheres.

Some Stats
PCU 635
Blocks 45
5 Small batteries
Ion thrusters
1 Ore detector

The Oxbow can be found here ....

@Jivali if you delete the piston head and then remove the armor block under that you'll have enough room to place a small connector. I hope that works for you.

@jivaii sounds like a challenge ;)

Would you consider a mk 2 of this with the new small connector?

Have you watched the Expanse? I found myself to also use this for recon as they did in the show.

Thanks for the comments Killjoy, I've found this little guy to be useful in a lot of situations.

I love this design! what I end up using it for is as a long range ore scout by sending it drifting towards an asteroid and I add a sensor so when it's close the inertial dampeners kick in and it slows down to broadcast the asteroid's contents. It also informed me as to how tricky it is to guess the distance when eyeballing the asteroid.

@HyFive If you press Shift + K you get a menu that allows you to remotely access nearby grids. I recommend being near an antenna with a far enough range as the player has a communication range of only 200m while a ship's (Large or Small) can be all the way up to 50km, or infinite if you have enough power, line of sight and two laser antenna

how do i command the drone though?

You can attach a rotor to any ship or station and use that as a docking point for the Probe. It will work alone or with any ship or station.
