Drones
Drones are static objects, deployed by ships, that apply effects in a circular zone around themselves.
Drone effects are applied :
- On all ships in the zone at the time the drone is deployed
- On any ship entering the zone
- On any ship inside the zone at the start and end of its turn (there and staying there)
Drones are fully autonomous, and once deployed, are not controlled by their owner ship.
A drone lasts for a given number of turns, counting down each time its owner's turn starts. When reaching the number of turns, the drone is destroyed (before the owner's turn is started). For example, a drone with 1-turn duration will destroy just before the next turn of its owner.
