The discussion in the Fleet area has made me think about remote sensor drones for CT/High Guard. What their stats would be, etc.
I do not recall ever seeing published CT/HG stats for naval remote sensor drones. Does anyone else?
You can design one in MT by combining spacecraft and robot design. TNE had sensor drones, at least in the BATTLE RIDER game.
But I'd like sensor drones for CT/HG. Anyone have any ideas? Here's my thoughts so far:
Drone: Using a 10-ton hull, the drone is capable of 6-G acceleration, carries one ton of fuel and has a crew of zero. The drone is normally operated remotely from its mothership but is capable of autonomous operation under control of its onboard computer. The drone includes a Mk 5 computer and mounts no weapons of any kind. The drone has no excess space and costs MCr 70. The drone can detect ships up to two light-seconds distance and can track ships once detected to a range of three light-seconds.
The drone wound up being so expensive because of the Mk 5 computer. I would think that some kind of "drone control" software would be required to be running on the computer of the mothership.
