Default Re: The Galactic Council needs YOU!

Do any of you guys know of a good cure for swarms of monster drones? I'm getting manhandled by the computer and its embarrasing.

I've tried everything I could think of. Its around turn 100 of my game and a swarm of 144 bee-shaped drones showed up at a warp point, kamikazed its way through 83 satellites (losing about 8 drones), then flew across the system into my home system in a single turn. Once there they shrugged off a 60 frigate fleet (equipped with temperal combat sensors 2 and a 5% fleet bonus) losing about 65 drones. Then they leveled one my colonies along with its 300 orbital figthers losing another 8 drones. Point defense guns can't target them, standard weapons can't hit them, and fighters are outrageously vulnerable to ramming. With a combat speed of 9 the drones can move from beyond my range (or so far away they are impossible to hit) and ram in a single turn. How can I deal with them?
