Shepard & PrintFox
Hey Shepard, I was just sketching a wiggly dragon that could double as a friendly scouting drone—think cute but useful. Got any tactical ideas for a soft, but stubbornly efficient companion?
Sounds like a good idea for a low‑profile recon asset. Keep it lightweight so it can drift with the wind, give it a flexible chassis so it can squeeze into tight spots, and mount a small sensor suite—lidar, infrared, maybe a mic array for listening. Make the skin a low‑reflectivity composite to stay off the radar, but still tough enough to handle a hit. The key is keeping the payload simple: a camera, a few chemical samplers, and a small communication relay so it can send data back without a big antenna. That way it stays quiet, gets in, gets the intel, and slips out without drawing attention.
