>query Entity Sensors status

We should develop a reconnaissance and command/relay type drone that we can send directly out to observe and oversee tasks at a distance we can not sense right now.

What about researching a way to make repairing the reactor and fabricator less expensive, like removing safety features?  Just a thought, we do not need to go through with it if the reduction in cost is not significant.

We should research a weapon system I think, we can use it ourselves and transmit it to the other ship for possible building.

Also we could turn the entity sensors on, look around, then turn them off to conserve power.

I wonder what our current location is.

Maybe this is what happened to our ship?

[Gwolfski]

Why is fabrication offline? Is it just damaged, or is there a power supply failure somewhere?

Fabrication is still offline because it has not been repaired.
Power is running on backups and the capacitor, so it'd be best if we got off those.

We should probably ping outside the ship to detect for asteroids before actually making the mining drone.

We're running low on basic components, better to build it now while we still can. Sooner than later we'll be depending on it. Anyway, I edited the post a bit.


@Carefulrogue: Is it a typo? Really 1, or 10 units?
