An OmegaCo Drone is one of the two items oroduced by OmegaCo, with the other one being Omega itself.

Basics

An OmegaCo Drone is produced from the Drone Assembly Line, using processors as it's resource. OmegaCo drones can be utilized by residents as BuyDrones, which do shopping for the lazy residents while they stay in their homes. OmegaCo drones can also be upgraded to utility drones: a MediDrone, LawDrone, and FireDrone. Each one requires a drone hangar from either a hospital, police precinct, or large fire station. Drones also fly over the streets to prevent traffic congestion and therefore have a definite advantage over traditional vehicles.

Utility Drones

  • MediDrone: These MediDrones specialize in healing Sims in their homes rather than taking them to a hospital.
  • LawDrone: LawDrones can "rehabilitate" (it is unknown how they perform it) a criminal while a crime is in progress. Oddly enough, the criminal(s) seem to get teleported to a jail cell or cease to exist from the city completely. Like said, it is unknown how this works.
  • FireDrone: These drones can put out fires faster than fire trucks and arrive faster too.

Disadvantages

Aside to sounding like the ultimate machine that you dream to have in your home, there are also disadvantages to the illustrious OmegaCo drone. First of all, all drones have to be disposed of, so be aware that you have a decent garbage system in your city. Also, OmegaCo drones take people's jobs (media credit of The Academy), sometimes resulting in unemployment crisises.

Easter Eggs

  • Hence the name, drones are practically servants to Sims.
  • The status of a drone fresh from the factory is always encoded in binary digits. When these binary digits are decoded, they spell OMEGA.
