As I read the Posts, I think one of the problems with the use of drones is what exactly we want them to do. My opinion only, I agree with the Baron. I think they should be used in only 2 different ways. The major use would be similiar to a cruise missle. They should have a limited amount of damage capability. They could launch and hit planets, destroying facilities, wp's, etc, but should not be able for 1 to completely glaze one. They could launch plge bombs, destroy 1 or several facilities including shipyards. I haven't decided if they should be able to hit a space station, still kicking this one around. But if they did, I would think they would damage it but not utterly destroy one with only 1 hit, damage should be accumulative with multifple hits and after maximum damage is reached then it would be destroyed. The other suggestion is that they could be used for spying, however, supply would enter into the picture in this regard. If used as missle, a questions comes up if they should be able to be shot down or destroyed by defenses ie; wps, ftrs, bs's. something would have to be done in this area or they could be to powerful or not powerful enough to be worth building. Any ideas on this??? As far as launching, could you take say ftr bays, re-name drone bays and see if they would launch. I know you still have the warp problems and more then likly this would be a hard code problem. SJ any ideas on this, I know you did a lot of changing in your Pirate mod with numerous modifications and possibilities in this launch area???

just some ideas mac
