drone missions

From the drone station at the launch pad you send drones into unexplored sectors. They keep working while you are away, bring back resources and sometimes find an artifact. Drones are never lost.

Sectors

Every mission explores the sector. Once it is fully mapped, the next one opens and the yield there rises by 5.0 %.
