There are 4 drones in the game that used a special remote control block to come and attack you from 20k or more away.
I personally think this breaks 2 parts of Keen's design philosophy:
1. You should have to seek out a fight.
2. Encounters should depend on vanilla mechanics a player could use (our remote controls don't do this).
This mod lowers their range to 2k, like any other AI block. This should allow you to sit at your base or station without randomly being attacked.
