gollark: I'm totally prepared to handle the answer. I designed CC orbital lasers.
gollark: Okay, so several problems:- this would actually be quite complex- I don't think drones can place things- navigation with drones is nontrivial, navigation upgrades have range limits of some sort and in any case don't actually use the world's "normal" coordinate system- why are you blowing up people with drones
