Losing Control of Remote Ships
So I've been toying with remote control security fighters and space fighters for a week or two. This morning, I started having issues with them. I built this small drone and set its antenna to 5km. It's got enough power for it. But what winds up happening is that I hit 200m away, and I disconnect. I cannot re-enter the remote module, even by resetting its ownership. I've checked and rechecked the fighter, everything's set right. I even tried removing and replacing the module, still nothing. I'd taken these fighters up to 3km away before to assault and capture NPC cargo ships with no trouble. It happens online, too.

Has anybody else seen this yet?

Are you controlling it from your suit?

Negative. I was controlling it from a button console as I'd done before, connected to a station antenna. Should I try from a control station? Am I misunderstanding something?

Also, obligatory "CLEARLY SE HAS BEEN ABANDONED!". I've said it often to my fiancee in discussions of games like this and Assetto Corsa and KSP. Buy it for what it has now, not what it'll have in the future. *rolleyes* Testing your solution now.

Yeah, controlling it from a seat instead of a panel seems to fix it. Interesting. I'll post back if it recurs again

Yeah, if you're in a cockpit or seat, you're using the station's antenna. If you're not in one, you're using your suit's transmitter and receiver, which is limited to 200m and is currently unchangeable. No bug, just a poorly documented feature.

Drone on! =D

Awesome, thanks! Working great now. My drone's got a bit 'of a hole after taking rocket fire from a ship, blowing up the turrets, then crashing into the main hull of said ship...

Nope, that's not it. Whether I'm in my suit or at the control panel, I'm losing a little RC after about 330m. Meanwhile, my friend in the game can fly it up to 3k. So clearly a bug lol

If this happens in coop/MP than it is probably related to this issue (which is a confirmed and reproduced by devs bug): http://steamcommunity.com/app/244850/discussions/1/618453594765073988/

I can confirm 100% that my problem at least was the panel-vs-Control Seat.
