[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;42431354]Honestly, what do they think will happen? [editline]6th October 2013[/editline] People will just end up poaching the drones and selling their hardware.[/QUOTE] That's why TNT Rhino is the best idea.

Just thought of something, drones can spot human targets right? Use that software in a tall ass tower and wire it up to a turreted sniper rifle, then someone just has to chill somewhere and wait to confirm the shots when needed.
The drone is a deterrent. It should be highly visible and relay information and coordinates back to rangers, it should be able to track and follow poachers too. Perhaps a sound or microwave device designed to cause pain could work.

Lazy people these days.

A sophisticated bipedal walker vehicle piloted by a single large hairy humanoid captain and two smaller hairy humanoid co-pilots. Should not be deployed on planets compromised of dense forests and rock-wielding primitives.
I hope a lot of really cool designs come out of this. As a hunter I hate poachers with a passion, they are the number one reason fun things like suppressors are a bitch to get.
drones might be the biggest signifier that we're entering a new era
[QUOTE=Water-Marine;42434885]"Pain weaponry" isn't too accurate, but I like the way you think.[/QUOTE] Well a noise emitted at the right frequency could disorient and annoy a target enough for it to move away. As well as scaring the animals off too. A microwave emitter similar to the American's hummer mounted one could work, but It would have to be aimed very directly at a specific target for it to be effective.
Why not go around implanting remote controlled electrodes with GPS tracking into animals. Use surveillance drones around the GPS blips, and if a poacher gets to close, trigger the electrode (which would hopefully elicit a HOLY FUCK RUN type of response.)
