Drone

Drone
The drone is unlocked after the first Sentinel reset. Once unlocked, it will appear as a spaceship flying behind your cargo transport ship to help protect it.

Navigation
The drone tab can be accessed by clicking the button with a closely-resembling triangle with a 'D' in it. There are 2 tabs inside the drone tab, labelled 'Missions' and 'Inventory'.

Missions Tab
The 'Missions' tab shows the current MP, maximum storable amount of MP amount and regen rate per hour. It is also where to start and queue up deliveries.

Inventory Tab
The 'Inventory' tab shows your current equipped weapons, devices and batteries, and shows your stored items. Clicking on a item will show the stats of the item, allow you to spend WP to upgrade it or turn it into a GEM. The bottom of the tab will display your current WP and Dust (gained from breaking gems).

Mission Points
Mission points (MP) are used to do drone deliveries. The maximum stored amount and regeneration rate can be increased by upgrading the Sentinel Level (SL)

Mission point equations
Max Mission points is 50 + 10 * SL

Mission points per hour is 4.5 + 0.5 * SL

Item Delivery
Adds a random weapon or device to your inventory. The levels of new items from deliveries will be 85% - 95% of your average item level from equipped items (including empty slots).

Weapon Parts Delivery
Used for upgrading weapons and devices. The amount of WP you receive every delivery depends on the total level of all of your equipped items. The amount of WP you will receive increases every 12 upgrades (item levels).

Battery Delivery
Adds a random battery to your inventory. The level of new batteries

from deliveries are 85% - 95% of the average equipped item level. The new batteries start with 5 uses (no bonuses).

Item Rarity
The item rarities are based on the level of the item. Upon reaching a certain level, you must upgrade the rarity of the item before you can continue to upgrade the level. Upgrading rarities have a chance to fail and increase the price. Upgrades prior to Infinity cost WP, while Infinity items require dust.

Starting at Infinity (level 1000), every 100 levels require Dust to upgrade the Infinity Level in order to continue upgrading further.

Item Level Upgrade Price
The cost to upgrade an item level in WP (excluding rarity upgrades) is ROUNDDOWN(L * (1 + (0.5L + 5 * ROUNDDOWN(L / 25) + 75 * ROUNDDOWN(L / 100)) / 100)), where L is current level.

Rarity Upgrade Price
For upgrading up to Soviet (current item being Arcane or lower), the WP cost is ROUNDDOWN(L + (ItemLevelUpgradePrice(L) + 5) * 1.5 ^ Tries), where L is current level (i.e. max level of current rarity), and Tries is the number of failed attempts, starting at 0.

From Soviet to Infinity and beyond, rarity upgrades require dust, and is based on a Soviet gem dust amount (6561).

Soviet to Infinity: Require 3 * Dust(Soviet).

Infinity: Each 100 levels after infinity, dust is required to upgrade the Infinity Level of the item. Infinity Level increases by 1 every 100 item levels. To increase the Infinity Level, dust cost is (Current Infinity Level + 1) * 2 * Dust(Soviet). Hence it costs 2 * Dust(Soviet) at 1100, 4 * Dust(Soviet) at 1200, etc.

Weapons
Weapons are the first item type that can be found through the Item delivery mission. There are 2 slots where the drone can equip weapons. The equipped weapons will act as a weapon and will fire from the drone. The damage is a percentage of your dps that increases by level with the formula L*1. The projectile color can be changed using color crystals.

Devices
Devices are the second item type that can be found through the Item delivery mission. There are a total of 10 slots where the drone can equip devices. There is a maximum of 4 items of the same type to be equipped at the same time. Value of M in formula depends on device type and rarity.

Build 1:
Weapons

Minigun X, Flak Cannon X

T''he weapons don't really matter late game as the features 'fly swatter'(240) and all of it's upgrades and high click rate. However, these weapons have the highest clear speed out of all weapons.''

Devices

4 Tractor Beams, 4 Ammo Generators, 2 Money Magnet

''The 4x tractor beams are always the ideal thing to have, as it means more LCargo. ~(elaborate on why the ammo generators and money magnets are included, and why there are no targeting systems).''

Gems
Gems are items that are received from breaking items. The levels of the gems are 85 to 95% of what the item that was broken. They cannot be upgraded. The gems cannot be equipped directly into the drone, but rather can be put into sockets on devices and weapons. They provide small bonuses to various stats, which increases in relation to the rarity (not levels). As the rarity of the weapons and devices increases, they gain more sockets available to equip gems, with a maximum of 4. However, the gems cannot be removed/destroyed/replaced. Due to this factor, it is best to create 'suits', sets of items with a specific gem to do a specific stat increase. ''It is best to get to a high drone level before starting to make sets. Having a set of low level gems in a very high level item would mean that you would have to destroy that item and farm for more gems to get the maximum bonus.''

Gems that are not socketed can also be broken into dust, which is used for the Infinity rarity of items.

Breaking a gem gives Dust amount equal to 3 ^ (Rarity + 1), which ranges from 3 dust for Common gems, to 19683 dust for Infinity gems.

Value of M in formula depends on gem type and rarity.

Batteries
Batteries are items that are gained from the drone mission 'battery delivery'. There are 2 slots in the drone for batteries. They provide various bonuses, as listed in the chart below. Their bonus formula increases as the rarity goes up. They do not directly attack enemies, unlike weapons. Each battery starts out with 5 charges (no bonuses/features), which can be depleted by 1 every time that you either transfer or unequip the battery. Once its charge reaches 0, it will be removed from your inventory.

Value of M in formula depends on battery type and rarity. 3x LCargo chance battery reaches 100% bonus at level 300 Legendary.

4x LCargo chance battery reaches 100% bonus at level 500 Arcane.
