Removed comm. warning and a personal comment at the end of article. This shouldn't actually really qualify for the community warning as it is a legitamate guide, even if it's a tad bit basic.

Drones are a advanced form of defending or attacking.▼
<!--Note to editors: this article was originally envisioned as a guide (After defense/offense and base-building were split into separate articles the defense/offense part was supposed to be expanded, and was supposed to be more of a glossary with links to separate in-depth tutorials like these).-->
It is similar to a missile, but instead of using an explosive, it uses weapons such as guns.<br>
A simple diagram of a drone is below: <br>
[[File:Drone diagram.png|thumb|alt=Drone|Simple Drone Diagram]]
Most drones usually use ranged weapons, and can be proven deadly.
▲Most drones usually use ranged weapons, and can be proven deadly. Its recommended to build them in studio so you can quickly spawn it when needed.
The minimum requirements are:
[[Gyro]] x1. Steers the drone in the correct direction.
[[Antenna]] x1. Powers the drone and allows trigger signals to come through if you want to be able to toggle the drone.
▲Any sort of weapon (2-8 is recommended and or blades at the front of the drone.)
▲any sort of propulsion ([[IonRocket|Ion]], [[Rocket]] or [[Thruster]])
How to build a basic drone: <br>
First, build the propulsion. It can be anything from [[IonRocket]], [[Thruster]], or [[Rocket]]. If you want your drone to be fast, a [[Rocket]] is good. If you just want to have a basic drone, [[IonRocket]] and [[Thruster]] will do. Then put a [[Gyro]], this is essential as without it, the drone will not be able to target. It is recommended to use [[LifeSensor|Lifesensors]] to make accurate drones, but just using "enemyusername", "AllExcept yourusername" or "Radar object" is fine. Next, add the weaponry. You can add anything you want, such as [[Blade|Blades]], [[Gun|guns]], or [[EnergyGun|Energyguns]]. [[Blade|Blades]] can go on the front of your drone, while [[Gun|guns]] can go on the [[Gyro]] if the TriggerOnSeeked property is enabled. Next is to power it, the simplest way being by [[Antenna]]. To make your propulsion only turn on when enemies are in the area, you have to turn on TriggerOnSeeked on the [[Gyro]], and then put a piece of Activating [[Polysilicon]], connected to a [[Switch]]. Then, on either side of the [[Switch]], have your propulsion and the [[Antenna]].
