This release adds new category of upgrades - the disposable nanodrone systems. You can outfit your system with fabricator of laser-powered swarms of palm sized devices that will autonomously perform various tasks.
Disposable nanodrone is a palm-sized disposable device consisting of exchangeable tool-head and ablative laser propulsion system, powered remotely by ship-mounted laser. Drones are mass-produced and their propulsion system is destroyed during burns - they were never meant to come back to the ship. They achieve their tasks by virtue of launching in large, inexpensive swarms.
The on-board drone fabricator unit mounts correct tool-heads, launches drones, tracks and powers them remotely with infrared laser array. Average lifetime of a launched drone never exceeds dozens of seconds.
