Yeah, drones are free. I should update the button to not allow pausing, I guess? If you don't want them to aggro, then put the thing in load mode. Unless that's not sufficient? I mean, I could make the pause work, but that seems like it would waste resources for you since they're free. I guess maybe if the line is paused, it could build but not deploy them, regardless of your transport status... I think. |

Would changing the button from pausing the construction of the line to loading the drones only in the factory work, or it would break the rules because it's always been load/unload all? There are moments I'd like to have the engis out, maybe also in pursuit mode, without the drones. If it's a waste of time, forget about it: it's a minor thing, almost insignificant when looking at the whole picture. |

Being forced to choose between drones aggroing stuff without your consent (if unloaded) or giving up on your engineers (if loaded) has always been a big annoyance. I entered a couple bugs about this back then myself, and I see some more people are bothered: https://bugtracker.arcengames.com/view.php?id=23667
@x4000Bughunter " I guess maybe if the line is paused, it could build but not deploy them, regardless of your transport status..." - I think this is a great solution. Pause the drone line and all existing drones load back into their home ship, and no more come out. Nobody's gonna complain if they keep building up inside the ship while the line is "paused" and you have a lot of drones available next time you unpause. |
