Patrol Ships are equipment located in the different bays of the DAEDALUS. You can take off from a Patrol Ship and directly fight hunters in space. Being a Pilot is recommended and often required.

Flying in a Patrol Ship shows the same view of the ships around the DAEDALUS as a Turret.

this page is incomplete. The goal is to pull most of the info from the piloting page and put all possible details here. As I see it, the Piloting page should be a guide to piloting, all rare occurrences can be listed here only. I need help from experienced pilots (a screenshot would be nice too).

Charges

Each Patrol ship has its own ammo, and holds up to 10 charges (16 with Teslatron Reservoir). Examine a landed Patroller to see the current number of charges it has.

While in the Bay, ammo will recharge 1 per cycle.

Hull

Each Patrol ship has its own , which starts with 10 points. The Examine action shows the current hull of the ship while you're in the Bay.

The hull can get damaged by hunters at cycle change, and a hull of 0 would immediately destroy the patrol ship and kill its pilot.

Repairing the hull takes, as for the DAEDALUS, Scrap Metal. However, unlike the DAEDALUS, any Support Drone can repair the hull for free.

In-Flight Cycle Change

If you were flying at cycle change you gain , and other points normally. If there are hunters outside they might shoot at you, depending on the stance you had before cycle change. Their attacks damage both the patroller hull and the pilot . TODO: what exactly happens when you're flying at cycle change
