I was trying to compare drones and suddenly realized I have no idea what a lot of the attributes mean. Example:
Hammerhead I Attributes
Primary Skill Required: Scout Drone Operation (Makes sense)
Max Locked Targets: 8 (8 what? Drone only targets what I tell it to attack)
Thermal Damage: 6 (Makes sense)
Shieldcapacity: 50 (Makes sense)
ArmorHP: 100 (Makes sense)
Targeting Speed: 2 sec (What? Drone doesn't target anything. I do.)
Radar Strength: 1 point (???)
Ladar Strength: 1 point (???)
Gravimetric Sensor Strength: 1 point (???)
Activation Proximity: 200 m (???)
Accuracy Falloff: 1000 m (Makes sense)
Entityflyrange: 300 (???)
Capacitor Capacity: 1200 (Makes sense, although it seems useless)
Max Velocity: 550 m/sec (Makes sense)
Tech Level: 1 (Makes sense)
Magnetometric Strength: 1 point (???)
Rate of Fire: 2 sec (Makes sense)
Optimal Range: 500 m (Makes sense)
Recharge Time: 2500 sec (???)
Shield Recharge Time: 2500 sec (???)
Mass: 5000 kg (Makes sense, although it seems useless)
Capacity: 1200 (???)
Volume: 100m3 (Makes sense)
Radius: 10 (???)
Targetattack: Combat (Makes sense)
Anyone know this stuff with ??? means?

I'l try to answer to the best of my ability.

once you tell them to attack they still generally have to lock on .. thats why you get a very short delay between ordering an attack and the target taking damage
Quote:
Max Locked Targets: 8 (8 what? Drone only targets what I tell it to attack)
answered out of order because it follows on from the one above .. they should only need 1 max locked targets, but I assume the 8 is just to make sure problems dont occur with multiple targets

two possibilitys : drones can be jammed and thus need to have a sensor strength OR and I cant prove this, have only heard it from another : they increase your sensor strength to make it harder to jam a target that has a number of drones relaying targeting info back than one that doesn't
Quote:
Activation Proximity: 200 m (???)
no idea
Quote:
Entityflyrange: 300 (???)
I assume its related to how far away from you they can fly, but the value doesnt seem to make much sense
Quote:
Recharge Time: 2500 sec (???)
capacitor recharge time .. now as far as I know they dont use energy so it never comes into play
Quote:
Shield Recharge Time: 2500 sec (???)
does what it says on the tin - time from empty to full shield, seems too long to me but thats what it is
Quote:
Mass: 5000 kg (Makes sense, although it seems useless)
as far as I know an objects mass is the major factor in its agility, plus it might add to your own mass when carried
Quote:
Capacity: 1200 (???)
cargo capacity I assume, doesnt pick stuff up so doesnt matter
Quote:
Radius: 10 (???)
size and/or collision radius
Quote:
Accuracy Falloff: 1000 m (Makes sense)
Optimal Range: 500 m (Makes sense)
drone damage remains constant no matter the range, so these stats are meaningless

Apologys for any rambling that may have just occurred.

I Think this comes from the fact that if ur BS gets target Jammed, ur droids can still attack any agressors
Thus they are assigned a taregt lock stat, to allow them to attack when you are incapictitated
