Lt.Brandon's E2 Drones

LtBrandon

So I was bored and decided to remake my drones for the 4th time in the last couple of years, these are completely E2 and do not do anything but circle the target. I ask that you not criticize it without first using it, as it is actually quite nice. This will probably be the only version of these I release, I want people to use them to learn how to make their own.

Features included in the public release include:

• Low lag!
• Collision avoidance!
• Projectile avoidance!
• Target tracking!
• Pretty sounds!

Once again, as with all previous releases, DO NOT GIVE THESE TO ANYONE, DIRECT THEM HERE, AND DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY MODIFIED VERSIONS, EVER, AT ALL, IF YOU DO I WILL KILL YOU.

I couldn't help but notice your Data Signal Commands are still in there.
Is Recetium going to get a command that destroys every drone that was spawned after it?
Because that would totally be awesome.

You'll find out when I hand out the latest versions of my E2s 'n shit to all the BA people. >:D

Currently you can't turn the drones off without destroying them, so that is probably going to happen.

Somehow this seems like a flaw. At least they always fight to the last breath- er, hit point.
