Okay, so I'm curious as to what the basic development progression was like.
So when you first started, what were the first challenges that you faced or decisions that you had to make when looking into drones to begin with?
Tobias
So when we first started working on them, we were talking a lot about how we should make them fly in the world, if we could even have them fly through the world at all.
So a couple of different ideas we suggested or talked about was, for example, having predetermined flight paths.
That kind of becomes tricky because the player can essentially build anywhere they want in the world.
And another solution we thought about was having them just behave like the normal dropship at the hub.
It just goes up into space and down at the other location.
Jace
That kind of would have been a little boring, I
Tobias
guess.
It would have, yeah.
