I have not used drones yet (or mines). but, if what your wanting to do is have your ships break formation duing tactical combat, click the options button and select clear all orders.
Formations in tactical suck. it is more important for them to stay in formation then to get a good shot off, and god forbid if you move the group leader any other time than Last. it's a fight, but with your own captains.
Leader moves here.
hey, the leader moved, lets position ourselves in formation, it don't matter if we are now in range of the planets supercannons, we are in formation.
leader moves there
hey, lets move out of our firing range for that enemy ship, but we will be in formation.
I want a new component for my ships. a brig
