Want Drones to communicate with each other.

Want to trigger actions on separate grids as if they were just subgrids.

Want my drones and bases and other automated grids to be able to communicate with each other. Also with the new drones it would be convenient to issue orders from the hotbar instead of the clunky remote access menu.


For example triggering all my drones to return to base with one button press instead of remote accessing them one by one.

If I have multiple defense drones patrol over several kilometers apart. And one spots an enemy. It could enable the other drones autopilot to come over to it's own GPS location to help take down the intruder.

Or if one of my bases are under attack it should be able to remotely trigger my drones to come and defend it.

Or a ctc guided torpedo that has a large grid ctc in the ship instead of the missile.

And much more could be done with it.


I propose this could be added as a new function to the Antenna. That is pairing antennas on separate grids together. As long as the paired grids are in antenna range, this would make the grids count as connected subgrids (Except for energy an physics ofc)


This would help a lot with making smarter AI and better automation.
