Any chance of adapting thy SR system to the Firestar?
Also, I was on the boarding team 
No the self repair system is built into the ship.
All the systems and structure of the ship are modular and are capable of replacing the modules next to them.
I couldn't imagine you being anywhere else.
What was on those lower decks again. Check the lower decks before giving repair clearance, there must be a reason why they have been deactivated.
Complete remote scan of the ship.
Check the ship logs for comm data, maybe they picked up the activation commands for the drones.
Try to find out who produced these drones.
Anyway, safely attach a tether anchor.
Check the sector to see how much a freighter would be worth.
Also, is the shuttle engine compactibel with the freighter, maybe we can use the engine for spare parts.
The lower decks are still largely flooded with fuel and have suffered considerable damage.
If there is a short in any of the wires down there it would be risky to power anything as it might ignite a flash fire (that I may or may not have been writing up when you posted, that also may or may not have killed some crew members)
The ship has muiltiple hull breaches, no active life support, all life pods have been launched and 90% of it's systems are offline.
Though if these systems were turned off or disabled due to damage remains to be seen.
Checking the ships logged comn data turns up some interesting findings; the same kind of encrypted, short range burst transmission transmitted by the drones was transmitted by the ship for some reason.
Only the ships comns array is far more powerful and could reach half the scrapyard.
But the logs don't show anything else related to the drones.
The drones where produced for use by the Collective of Imperial Worlds for use as a cheap, area denial weapon.
An intact ship of this class could be sold for 20,000 credits but having to sell it ilegaly would mean a drop in price (dependant on who you sell it to)
The two engines use the same technology the cargo ship's engine is just an awful lot bigger, so yeah there are a number of components you could repurpose from the shuttle's engine.
> I go through the software for the drones, figuring out how advanced the AI is and maybe how the trick of taking them over was done. And yea trying to trace who did it but I'm pessimistic about that being possible.
The hacker was careful and left little evidence of tampering.
The software in the drones is pretty sophisticated and inculdes an impressive targeting algorithm that could be adpated for use on the Firestar's turrets. (currently they're all manualy operated)
You're also able to spot the vunerablitiy that was exploited to gain control of the drones.
The controling computer transmits a secure, continual data stream to the drones just like missiles, but unlike missiles drones send messages back to the controling computer.
It's possible to spoof the controling computer into thinking your a drone and accepting a transmission containing a virus.
The controling computer then propagates this virus to all the drones under it's control which inculdes a command to switch controling computer to one selected by the hacker.
But these were old drones this particular vunerability might have been corrected in newer models.
Now you don't know where the hacker is but you know the address of the new controling computer.
The fuel pump transfers 1200 units of fuel to your tank.
The crew operating it tell you that the more fuel they pump out the slower pumping out fuel becomes.
A Tether anchor is fired at the cargo vessel which attaches firmly and without incident.
