How to use:
1. Spawn the drone.
2. Cut off the control module (attached to the drone) and place the green parts on your
command ship. [You can re-color them of course :)]
Note: Remote controls and gyroscope must face the forward direction of your ship.
3. Get control over the #XB-2 Remote Control
4. Turn on "a-processing-core" PB on your command ship
5. Recompile the programmable blocks

6. Using 1-up ; 2-down ; 3-enter ; 5-previous page ; 6-next page,
select "Form up" on the LCD.

7. At this point the drone should follow you and start to fight as soon as the turret picks up a hostile.

Please note: the connectors should`t be obstructed by anything and if you decide to use different connector, name it "docka" and add to the "undock connectors" group.

If you want your drones to attack a target which is outside of their turret range:
1. Take control over #XB-2 Remote Control
