Future Development/Ideas
Radar
As a recon craft, the Black Adder is predestined to use radar. Features to be implemented:
- tracking and locking of a radar contact
- displaying the position of the tracked/locked contact on the middle display (WIP)
- transfer of the radar contacts to the fleet

The development of the radar will be continued when the radar mods become more stable. Currently they are in an experimental phase and may be changed a lot.

Collision Warning
When the radar is switched off the ship enters the "landing mode". In this mode the sensors are reconfigured for collision warning and the middle display is used for real-time display of the sensor information.

Docking Help
Automatic power managment when docking. Frees some actions in the G-menu.

Docking Autopilot
This is to ease landing of the MK Id and MK Ie on the capital ship it's planned to be used. Will use a series of waypoints to fly the landing pattern. Only possible when the orientation of the capital ship is known.

Radar-controlled Camera
The MK Id and Mk Ie are emphasizing the recon role. Idea is to remove the turret and replace it by a turret mounted camera which can follow the tracked/locked target.
Not sure if this will work due to the instability of the rotors. If feasible a gun/camera combo will be installed.

Bombsight
Radar- and/or rangefinder-controlled, hinge-mounted camera which points to the impact location of the bombs.
