Upon reaching a certain chapter in the Survivor’s Path, you'll intercept a mysterious signal in the Settlement. The search for its source will lead you to the Transport Hub. Entering it won't be that easy, you’ll need a drone. You can craft it via the blueprints menu at your home base, along with the docking station. That's where the drone recharges and where it returns after its owner's death.

Upon building a docking station at your home base, you'll become the owner of your own aircraft.
