Draken - automated gravdrive interceptor

Description
Compact gravity-driven combat ship fully integrated with AutoPillock script.

Two custom-built AWT-controlled assault rotary cannon blocks (AK-8/76) that are integrated with AutoPillock and can be triggered automatically or using welder on the 1st toolbar.

One torpedo hardpoint for AutoPillock jabs.

A block of gatlings for lighter targets.

Two designator turrets.

Scripts used: AutoPillock, TGP, AWT.
There is a HudDog but I didn't have time to set it up properly.

Toolbar 1:
1 - toggle APck dampening on/off
2 - TGP command:cast (lock looking through camera)
4 - jab
welder tool for manual cannon fire

Sorry for messed up guide, I don't have much time and try update it someday later. This build runs latest AutoPillock so proceed there to learn about available commands and features.

There is an issue with jab - the drone does not have enough forward acceleration to do it from zero-ish speed (if jab fails in two seconds then APck cancels it). To workaround this, do jabs from speed or press jab button several times, so 2nd and subsequent jabs would release.

Important note
See AutoPillock PB CustomData to change default behavior. In this BP threat response is set to None, so the drone won't fight enemies automatically. To change this, make sure the boot sequence contains

command:set-response:Attack
or
command:set-response:FreeFire

Refer to APck documentation for more info.

I'm not teaching anybody, not my thing. I would always answer specific questions about set up process if you ask them in a right place though.

Check out AutoPillock script for carrier blueprint module, there are also guides and videos showing the process of setting up docking.

Nice job dude, could you build a Carrier ship or help me add these drones to a Ship of mine, or teach me how to do it? I know how to setup the connectirs but not how I do the way in and out of the carrier
