Flying Drone questions

I'm sure they have an importance that is not as yet implemented.

Can other players see the drone as it hovers over my hiding place and therefore revealing my position?

An Admin can use a drone to fly around the map while players are present? And if yes, do they (admin) do it on official servers too?

Also, I wanted to "search" this forum but find no search field. I'm using the mobile steam version. Am I blind, dumb, or just too baked...
(Not baked cuz I'm at work)

Both aimed to same player?

Perhaps its desynchronization and you see one drone in two different places around you D:

Probably. I'll try next time and see how many FP I make.

The ones I saw were totally aiming at me. And lined up in a different angle.

Exactly like that but with two and three drones.

the amount of FP u get is based on ur skill lvl, if ur bad at rifle and kill it with shotgun u get more points as if ur good at the skill.

I knew I had a screenshot of this somewhere.... right outside C2 bunker again, lower entrance.

Just a guess here, but... C2 bunker is huge. I usually spend a while going through it. If a drone shows up early in your visit, it might be just hovering around outside/above the bunker trying to reach you the whole time. Then, if enough time goes by and you're still inside, another drone shows up hovering around trying to reach you but can't. Once you leave, all accumulated drones are finally able to reach you so you see them all at once.

Can anyone else confirm if they saw multiple drones after being inside bunkers for longer periods?

Sounds possible.

Admins can play as a drone in the game, and yes, sometimes there are admins using drones on official servers.

People can control drones?! Oh great. So the admin can tell his friends about other players, spy on them, and guide his friends from above to kill others.

I was thinking the same thing. But hey, that's the risk of playing a private server. I'm sure (I hope) the majority of private server admins would never cheat like that.

happens in sp, fish factory, stay a long time in one of the large depots

seems they have to come close enough to trigger "job is done, go back"

which means fly west and explode
