Function

The remote control block allows the player to control a ship from another location through Antennas. Once controlled, the ship 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 ship in order to see what they are doing. As mentioned above, you must also have an Antenna on the ship in order to let it be controlled remotely.
