Finally upgrades to the internal communication network and relay systems will also be provided to support drone communication channels.
Drone Compliments
The size of a vessel directly impacts how many drones it needs and will support. Different vessels and facilities require different numbers to balance out internal space utilized by the drones and their equipment with how likely systems are to require repair without intervention. In particular fighters and auxiliary craft which can be especially prone to damage require potentially more support but also have limited internal spaces within which to work.
