MDASU-01 The Droneshed

70.4k TheUltimatePlaneLover  3 months ago

Huzzah!

It's the drones... the drones!!


Yeah, so I built a tiny little airport. It's not perfect, but it can get the job done.

Activation Groups 1-6 activate the drones, 8 toggles the lights. 7 is useless to my memory.

It's portable!

Now, let's talk about the drones...

The drones fly like fairly normal planes, they even have working guns! The only differences? They're launched from a drone station, they don't have landing gear, and they will set off a massive explosion if they crash. Other than that they fly exactly normal, VTOL for flaps, Trim for trim, Pitch, Throttle, Yaw, and Roll all have their normal functions, etc.


Now, formation flying as shown above is tempting, but resist the urge to do it unless you're going in a straight-line kamikaze trip (or just a short photo shoot like I did here).


That's all! Happy droning!

    I know what y're thinking @SPSidearm, but Defense Grid 10 will be unable to steal it, because I am currently using the only one existent as a boat. That and the drones are highly explosive, so even if you manage to steal the drones, they'll probably explode on a city-block level in the process.
    *And no, it ain't a challenge, so don't :)

    @TheUltimatePlaneLover I am familiar with this matter, and our professional team can easily obtain all the information from them, including their mission in Shanghai.

    He's implying he found the location of the Droneshed. DG-10 is basically a spy group he has which specializes in stealing enemy aircraft (so basically the USSR when an American aircraft gets near them 😂). However, the lore version of me (TUPL himself) is on that Droneshed, so DG-10 is absolutely cooked.

    @ThatrandomguywholikesSP I would hope so, these drones may be intent kamikazes, but I built them to be recoverable in the case that you don't want to smash the drone to a bunch of tiny bits

    Don't worry guys, Lore TUPL is canonically stronger than a flight of A-40s, this will be DG-10's last mission, one way or another.

    ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!!!
    Note: don’t do what I did and release them all at 20,000 feet and slam them straight in the ground. (World destruction)

    Interesting drone base station. Time is running out, S is about to die and cannot be saved. Take care, I will burn joss sticks for you next week.
    If he doesn't die next week, then I think it's necessary to mediate this war
