Added settings:

  • noDampenersWhenChangingWaypoints When set to TRUE; dampeners will turn off when resetting waypoints. The previous waypoint is removed, the new waypoint is added, and autopilot is restarted. This process slows down the drone and turning off dampeners helps maintain speed
  • dampenersAlwayOnInGravity
[/b] Never turn off dampeners if inside a gravity well
[/list]
If dampeners would be turned off when resetting the waypoint but a setting prevents dampeners from being turned off, dampeners will be turned on if they were off

  • Leave blank to disable

Experimental build...
Currently has formation templates: Horizontal Diamond and Vertical Diamond
Custom formation locations are saved and prioritized over preset formations
Custom formation locations are currently created by flying a drone to a desired relative position and using the commands "save relative" and "register x"

  • Use "save relative" to calculate the relative position to the host
  • Use "register x" to save that relative position as a custom formation location
    • Custom formation locations are used in numerical order
    • "register 1" will save spot 1
    • Duplicates are overwritten
Has forward auto fire for all drones; any drones with turrets to mark targets and forward facing fixed guns will fire the fixed guns on targets
Drones create unique ids using their own unique block ids and the date, drones will routinely check in with the host using their ids, if any drone goes too long without checking in then it will be assumed lost. Any lost drones will lose their spot in formation and other drones may take them
Drones can be automatically added to the formation using autoregister. When a drone turns on with autoregister enabled it will request a spot in the formation from the host

The script has a lot to finish including 6 other formations, replacing autopilot with a missile style autopilot, more settings, and of course making all this easier to understand and use. I'm also working on several other scripts

Improved command 'save relative'

Changed output

Client command no longer activates script, you will have to use Go to start
- This is so you can set it as client and then position the ship manually to use Save Relative command
