Drone Operator

Through a Remote Control Operation Device (RCOD) you receive visual and audio data from a drone the system is connected with. You may also activate any abilities the drone has. Most RCOD are an eyepiece and ear bud.


Drone Operation Parameters

Each specific drone has its own Operations Parameters. Without training or practice (having Drone Operator unlocked) the RCOD is useless. If a RCOD is destroyed, a new one may be made with 4 hours of Routine time.

Growth Points: 10 Growth Points

Range: 500 Tiles
Units: 1

While on standby your drone(s) will keep themselves nearby or you may choose to keep them in your pack, or if they are small enough, in your pocket. A Drone Operator may only have 1 Unit active at a given time without upgrading their RCOD. Drones may only take Actions with Operational Commands. Connecting to a new drone takes 10 Minutes.

If you stumbled here by accident, that’s all gravy. We use these pages in our archives as templates, style guides, reference content, and reusable assets. I’m also getting to write the FAQ, which is fun.
