Crew services / Drones, ready room, weapon faults
Services for the people in the session: automated UAVs and live feeds, assembly control and deliberate weapon faults.
Drones and live feeds
Two ZEN modules: Drone automation and Live feed. Drop one on a UAV to register it, or drop it on a unit or vehicle to choose a follow target and pick the airframe in the dialog.
- Modes: follow operator, follow group, follow vehicle, patrol, hold; plus watch for contacts and engine power.
- Patrol needs an explicit route or a configured marker prefix — the dialog never invents a route.
- Feeds are audience-scoped: players (curators excluded), curators only, or an explicit UID list. Opening Zeus suspends your local feed and leaving it resumes.
- Release restores the airframe's original AI settings and waypoints; it leaves the vehicle where it is.
Ready room
FF: Zeus > Ready room / Assembly starts the configured room. Inside the room curators can release, release with skip, restart and clear, or cancel without handoff — no need to leave the dialog to manage assembly. Every curator action is re-authenticated on the server.
Weapon faults
Drop the module on a player to apply or clear their faults, or on empty ground to hit everyone. The server authenticates you as the requesting curator. Repairs stay specialist-only; curators can always clear a fault.
