Speedy Cargo Drone

Description
in vanilla, as at 3.53, if u leave the zone b4 cargo drone tag/collect item, those items are forfeit.
u have to wait till item is collected by the drone, then only u can leave the zone.

but i got sick of the 44 m/s drone.
it make no sense that such a small craft move so slow, it's not like it's a capital ship or star destroyer.

so here the changes (4.0 game):
<acceleration forward="200" reverse="200" strafe="200" pitch="200" yaw="200" roll="200" />
<speed forward="200" reverse="-200" strafe="200" pitch="200" yaw="200" roll="200" />

original
<acceleration forward="12" reverse="12" strafe="12" pitch="4" yaw="4" roll="5" />
<speed forward="44" reverse="-8" strafe="8" pitch="8" yaw="8" roll="10" />

- as far as I'm awared, this only work in cargo collect mode, normal transfer ware is not being affected at all

known issue:
- cargo drone tends to get stuck when launching from the carrier during ***cargo collect mode***. have to wait till it manage to get unstuck.
the wait is better than the 44 m/s waiting.
- this issue seems to happen with Titurel, Lyranea/Lyramekron working without this issue so far.

seems to be a bug in the game, does happen without the mod. 3.61

scaldis : cargo collect mode : stuck inside the scaldis, make the scaldis jump to release the drones, then make it come back and the drones get the containers back to the scaldis.

A way to fix this ? Set speed normal at start then accelerate ? Or different speed for different ship ?

OK fine, I use this time a captured Lyramekron escorted be captured Arawn, Bloodhound, Olmekron and Bulldog. The Arawn is the real collecter for me, cause with carriermod she collects S + M fighters :D
I fly allways allone, only calling them if needed and this squad can wait savely nearly everywhere ;)

the stuck issue with Titurel that i encountered are specifically for cargo collect mode
i never have issue with this if they using the drone for normal tasks

Or, you can yet increase the hold of drone.
aladinaleks 29 Jul, 2015 @ 2:43am 
I think a better hold Increase in 5 times.It would be enough. ))

That means that there is no problem with the "normal" usage of the cargodrones with traders and stionships when zhe player is IZ?

this mod initial purpose is to address annoyance with cargo collect mode
for me, i don't bother or care what my other station trader ships are, because they *don't* do *cargo collect mode*

in this game, u only need one trader ship in-squad for cargo collect mode, that is, only 1 trader ship.
