Default Re: cheezy tactic against drone using AI?

If the ai planet has a lot of drones, would sending in just 1 or a very small fleet of cheap ships make the ai fire ALL it's drones at those targets?
Next turn you could attack in full force but wouldn't have to worry about drones no more.
I can't test this for the moment since i'm at work.
Anybody tried this?
There is an option in strategies.txt file "drones per target". Usually it is 3 to 5. That should limit how many drones get wasted.
