I think it would be really cool, if you could program the drillship to do certain task if a certain think happens. Like “If drillship gets attacked, Then open guns” or “If volcano timer < 20s, Then drillship goes down”
Well the part where it goes down automatically is bad because you might get left behind
Programmable ship is really hard to pull off from a design standpoint, how do you make it intuitive for everyone to use? Thats why we probably wont venture there, but there may be mods that support something like this in the future.
