The remote control block allows the player to control an object from another location through Antennas (e.g. a ship) or control an object connected to another object (via rotors, pistons) like e.g. turrets on a capital ship. No antenna is required in the latter case. Once controlled, the object in question performs normally. However, with no 1st or 3rd person view; it is recommended (but not required) that the player install Cameras on the object in order to see what they are doing. As mentioned above, you must also have an Antenna on the object in order to let it be controlled remotely.
