Re: Jst droneing on
 

Drones are expensive to build but cheap to maintain. They're immune to subverters, boarding, partial damage, and many special damage types because they are units. They can either be a waste or a decisive weapon, depending on how they're used.

High-tech drones can overwhelm PDC, and also can soak PDC so fighters and seekers can get through.

They are also a good way to hide force concentrations. Even if your enemy has scanners to see your fleet size, a scanner jammer or scattering armor on a transport or two can conceal whether or not it is stuffed to the gills with drones.
