    Yeah, so what we're looking at here is a very early version of the drone.

    I think it's the first time we got the animations in for the docking and the takeoffs.

    So what we did is we basically set up a little docking sequence and takeoff sequence that plays when the drone flies.

    It just looks a little bit better when it interacts with the station that way.

    It's

    just an animation that plays when it gets to the right point?

  3. Tobias

    Exactly.

    Yeah.

    Instead of just like flying to the station and then stopping there without anything fancy happening.

    This just makes it look a lot better.

  4. Jace

    Damn.

  5. Tobias

    There you go.

    Travels up to the world grid and to its destination.

    And

  6. Jace

    then this is just running another animation, I guess.

  7. Tobias

    Yeah, exactly.

    So you can see it starting right there.

    And it has a timer as well.
