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? ------------------------------------------------ "The best defense is a dead opponent." - Avaton White

I'l try to answer to the best of my ability.
Quote: Targeting Speed: 2 sec (What? Drone doesn't target anything. I do.)
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
Quote: Radar Strength: 1 point (???) Ladar Strength: 1 point (???) Gravimetric Sensor Strength: 1 point (???) Magnetometric Strength: 1 point (???)
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
