Default Re: A few questions from a newbie

I use drones in all my games, if you want to send more then 1 at a target, hold down the "shift button", clik on the drones you want to send, you will see a check mark next to each one, they will then move in a group to the target, once the target is destsroyed, if there is more then l enemy ship with the target, those that are still left will attack the next ship and so on. otherwise they will just sit in that location until out of supply or until you move them again or are destroyed. If you want them to warp, you must have a spotter in whatever system you are sending them to. also if you are warping them, put a supply component on them,

to target, clik on your drone/s then your target, they will go after it

drones are good for defense of warp points if you have enough of them,

I use tactical combat and use drone cv's and launch them during combat, excellent use

also good for attacking enemy colony ships or lone units especially enemy mine layers or enemy planets that don't any or few wp's

Sats - in tactical combat, clik on the sats, they will show sats and numbers, clik on them and they will show the make up of each group and what they contain

just some ideas Mac
