Help me figure out how to create an indoor flight path please.

Hello. I work in real estate media. I have a client that would like a long shot from a drone that starts outside, flies towards the house, in the front door, through the kitchen, then out the patio door.

Are there any tips and tricks to achieve this?

The main thing I've been considering is waypoints. Ideally the drone would be in cine mode, but I'm worried about collision detection in these tight spaces sending the drone flying into a wall or up into the ceiling. Any suggestions here? Can I put it in sports mode to disable collision detection but then adjust flight speed in the app?

Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts! TIA.

Trucks

That's it, really.

I get it. You've got a big ass boat and you need a truck to move it. Or you have a farm and you need a truck to tow your horse trailer. Maybe you have a landscaping business and need a truck to move all your equipment around. Plenty of good reasons to have a truck.

But the other 70% of you who own trucks just because, you're obnoxious. I can't see around your stupid box when I'm pulling out of a parking space. Sometimes I need to fold your giant mirrors so I can leave my spot without hitting them, because your stupid truck tires are touching the lines on both sides. A good portion of you are straight up dicks on the road. You tailgate, even though the visibility in front of you on a ram or f150 is zero. You take up too much space on the road. In heavy bumper to bumper traffic I can't see around you. Your giant lights with the fury of a thousand Suns blind all incoming traffic for a mile in front of you.

All you truck owners who have trucks as an ego boost, you're just obnoxious, annoying, and frustrating to share the road and parking lots with.

There are some people who just can't ever be agreeable, fun, and say yes to things. Every word out of their mouth is a complaint, or they turn the biggest non issues into issues. It's a real downer.

"It was so nice out today"

"I hate the sun it dries my skin"

"Man I went to see (x band) live last night and it was such a fun show!"

"I hate (xband) because the backup singer said something tonedeaf in 1993"

"Hey let's go eat at (x restaurant) everyone's saying it's really good"

"I don't like (x restaurant) they don't have chicken nuggets and I read about someone who knew someone who was related to someone who had a bad experience there".

"Have you heard about this new show with (x actor)?

"I'm not going to watch that the assistant director's secretary's mom had an argument with (x actor).

Everything always has to be negative, about how everything sucks. It sucks the life out of you being around people like that.

While the Shih is largely regarded as one of, if not the best fighter in X4, I have found that they sit about midway in terms of survivability in low attention. With their 4 guns and 3 shields, you would assume they'd have a better rate.

I've read quite a few posts about how the takobas suck. Thing is, in my playthroughs I find I keep gravitating back to them. They are FAST and manoeverable. 2 Terran mk 3 shields and 2 pulse ml2 makes these little things pretty good in swarms, and survivable to boot.

This is all anecdotal of course. I'm not a number cruncher. I go more on feel than anything else, and to me having to replace fewer ships, and watching all those triangles chew up enemy fighters, is enough for me to say that I quite enjoy these little fellas on my carriers.

Ultimately, once my construction efforts are far enough along, I like to start building Makos with 1 ion and one phase, but earlier game when I'm buying, I'm a big fan of the Takoba.

EDIT: Apparently people DO talk about the Takoba and I've just been ignorant of that. Thanks to everyone who mentioned this. It's nice to get validation over my love of this little fighter.
