The Drones - Flax and Iris

The Drones - Flax and Iris

The drones circle your ship and support you in what ever way you equipped them, extras, lasers or shield generators. It is on you to decide if you want to have a battle cruiser or all shield generators as protection.
You can buy the drones in the hangar section drones. The drone price goes up with every drone you purchase.
There are two kinds of drones, the credit drone and the Uridium drone

The drones differ in number of slots and design
The credit drone is called Flax
The Uridium drone is called Iris

The Flax has one slot
The Iris has two slots


What can I do with the drones?

In the hangar section equipment you can equip your drones with lasers, shield generators and extras. You can not equip them with speed generators, since the drones are an escort ship it would not make any sense. With a higher drone level the strength of the laser or the shield generator will increase by a certain percentage.

If your drone is destroyed or you sell it, the items will go back into your hangar. You will not loose any generators, lasers or extras.

What is the level of the drone and how do I get it higher?

The level of your drone consists of the experience the drone could collect, since you bought it. Every level of your drone gives it a different look. There are 6 different levels. A higher level gives your drone more fire power or shield strength, depending on how you equip them.


Do the drones fire on their on?

No. The drones only fire when you shoot an enemy. If you don't fire the drone wont fire.


Are my drones cloaked when my ship is cloaked?

Yes. When your ship is cloaked, your drones is also cloaked.
