[FLHook] Drone Bays

[Remnant]

Nice!! What is the size limitation on the drones so far? Fighter only? Or are bombers, freighters, and possibly gunboats planned? (Gunboats might be a bit too overpowered, unless their loadout is lackluster).

Also, are Repair Drones going to be an option, or would this also be a bit much?

Finally, is there a possibility that weaker, Light Fighter Drones would be launchable from Liners?

Currently in our testing enviroment, we have one fighter drone, and one bomber drone.
Although the plugin is really flexible. If the devs wanted to add a different type of drone bay for liners, which could only launch certain drones, it's just a few lines in the configuration. Creating the equipment to mount is the hard part. Referencing it through FLhook is easy.
I wouldn't recommend anything gunboat size or later, since the NPC personality graph is hard coded to fighters/bombers.

Gonna have to say no for repair drones for the time being. I'm not very well versed in the idea of repair guns, besides that they've had issues. (Something something negative damage?)
Maybe I'll look into it later, but this is unplanned for now.

Ps: this isn't April fools. It's pretty much done.

Edit: Will ships not normally known for launching fighters (think: cruisers) be able to SRP drone-bays or will these be a case of "if it can mount a docking bay, it can mount a drone-bay"?

Yeah! Right now, I'm testing the plugin by calling the freelancer ID the drone bay.
As long as it's setup in the config, and that its mounted to your ship, anything can work.

I may need to write an addition later which accepts ship names instead of mounted cargo, but I'll do that later if the admins ask for it.
