Designing a Drone

Designing a drone is done in the same manner as designing a cyberoid. You just pick parts from the MAS Drone Parts Catalog, decide how to connect them together. MAS drone assembly factory will assemble your drone for you when you place an order. There are only a few simple rules that you have to follow.

Each drone part has a "space" and "volume" listing. The "space" specification defines how much room there is to contain other parts. The volume defines how much room a part will take up. Each part must be connected to only one other part on the drone. Each drone must have a power supply to power it. The power supply rating is the maximum number of spaces (all of the spaces from all of the parts) a drone has. Each drone must contain one control module.

Damage Points

Your drone damage points are calculated from the space and volume specification. Each space and volume is 1 DP. So a part with three spaces and one volume has 4 DP.

Cost

Like damage points, the cost of a part is based on the space and volume specification of a part. Each space/volume costs 100 local currency unit (say 100 dollars). So a part with three space and one volume costs 400 dollars. The cost of a drone is the cost of all of its parts added up.
