== Drone settings and making your drones assist the dronebunny ==

First of all, while in space, click the four horizontal bars in the top-left corner of your drone window to access the drone settings. Set your drones to ''Passive'' and check the box for ''Focus Fire''. That way your drones will not attack anything unless the dronebunny specifically targets it.

As for ~~assigning~~ your drones to the dronebunny, this will need to be done at the beginning of every single site:

As for setting your drones to assist the dronebunny, this will need to be done at the beginning of every single site:

Launch your drones into space, right-click the ''Drones in Local Space'' header, select the ''Assist'' menu and find the dronebunny in the list of pilots in the fleet. Once you do this, the drones will react to any offensive action taken by the dronebunny and simply engage whatever the target of that offensive action was.

Sometimes the target will be out of range and the drones won't engage until the dronebunny reinitiates an offensive module once the target is within everyone's drone control range. It's also important to remember that your dronebunny must be on grid with you before you ~~assign~~ your drones to him~~. Trying~~ to ~~assign~~ drones to someone who ~~is not~~ on grid will ~~not work, you~~'~~d have~~ to ~~redo that once~~ the dronebunny ~~lands on grid~~.

Sometimes the target will be out of range and the drones won't engage until the dronebunny reinitiates an offensive module once the target is within everyone's drone control range. It's also important to remember that your dronebunny must be on grid with you before you can set your drones to assist him, as trying to assist drones to someone who isn't on grid will just silently fail. This is why the dronebunny often posts 'DDD' in fleet chat or calls out on mumble to launch drones and assist them to the dronebunny.
