Drone Controllers
From Starsonata Wiki
Drone Controllers are items that, when equipped, will improve certain stats of your temporary drones. A drone controller can only be equipped on a ship that is equal in or higher tech than the drone controller's tech, and only one may be equipped at a time. Drone Controllers require Astral Injection to use.
Drone Controllers are not to be confused with Engineer Drone Controller overloader or the The Emperor's Drone Controller weapon -- although 5 Emperor's Drone Controllers can be turned into two possible actual drone controllers at the Serengeti Blockade.
Drone controllers derived from common & uncommon god (and god+) augmenters can be purchased with 30 of the appropriate augmenter from Perpetual Motion. You can also condense your weaker controllers into higher techs via the Perpetual Motion AI base.
Higher tier drone controllers may come from other sources, such as trade bay turn-ins, drops from certain AI/bosses, or blueprints.
