Anybody know of any Remote ship controller mods?

Me and a friend of mine had just finished our first playthrough and making plans to start another, but we had issues with too many bots and want to limit how many we have, but its difficult since i'm forced to stay within range of the helm to drive.

Does anyone know of any remote ship controller mods (which is up to date) and don't change any/much else? Not wanting to do a heavily modded playthrough.

My guess is that it would function similarly to the remote reactor PDA?
