      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

    2. Jace

      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.
