I have a question..
 

Ok, my question is simple. How do you make ships in strategic comabt (or heck, in auto tactical) launch their drone cargo?

I've fiddled around with all kinds of ship and fleet settings but nothing so far.. (max range, drone attack, fighter attack ermm..)

PS, this wouldnt matter if I could fleet drones, sorta..

Looking to obliterate someone with a massed swarm attack and well, drones that pop in one by one and run out of supply isn't much of a swarm..

Re: I have a question..
 

i don't use drones, i think i only used them 1 time, just to see what they were, but i think on strategic combat they're automatically lunch, i don't know tactical, i think it's like launching fighters.

Re: I have a question..
 

Well, you know how you can sort of watch your ships zip around in the little strategic window? Well, I never ever see my drones launched (unlike fighters, you see swarms of them pour out)in either auto tactical or strategic. Dunno.

Strat aborted, for now..

Re: I have a question..
 

i was talking about combat, if what you want is to use gather many drones to attack someone like using ship, i don't think it's possible, but as i said, i don't really use drones so i'm not sure.

Re: I have a question..
 

Well, first the ships need to have drone launchers. If they do and they're not launching at all, then I think it's a bug. If the problem is just that they're not launching enough of them at once, you need to increase the "Drones per target" setting in the launching tab of the strategy the ships use.

Re: I have a question..
 

Remember in the new patch they fixed something and now "anti-planet drones" will not be launched so if so change that.

Re: I have a question..
 

Drones serve a purpose for some players. Not all players, but some. They can be build quckly, are very powerful, and are deadly. Never underestimate a drone.

Re: I have a question..
 

Plus, they don't cost maintenence, so you can stockpile during peacetime.

Re: I have a question..
 

The only thing that makes drones worthless are PDC's. One Weapon Platform with a single PDC can protect your planet from a swarm of Drones.
