Drones are sort of like torpedos in naval warfare. Launch as many as you like. If you launch more than one drone, hold down the shift key and click on each drone. A red arrow symbol should be next to each drone. Then, all at once, have them all attack a target you want destroyed or damaged.

This, I beleive, is going to make a huge difference in my opinion of drones. If I use the above technique (shift-select and move them as a group to attack) will they all be in the same combat? My biggest problem with drones has been their "one at a time" attack method which makes it trivial for enemy fleets to blow them up. If I can send a good number (say 10) at an enemy fleet simultaniously then I can forsee drones being much more useful!

So, I guess I'm asking, if I shift-select drones and choose "Attack -> (target)" will they all be in the same combat?
