if they should be able to be shot down or destroyed by defenses ie; wps, ftrs, bs's
This could be applied to every sector the drone passes through:
Count the number of enemy guns, and give them all a 1% chance to disable/destroy the drone.
You get diminishing returns, with a stack of sats blocking a decent fraction of the drones, but it would be impossible to completely protect a planet from a drone assault.
With this setup:
11 guns, 10% combined chance to hit
23 guns, 20% to hit
36, 30%
51, 40%
69, 50%
92, 60%
120, 70%
161, 80%
230, 90%
Note that a single small sat could have 4 guns on it, meaning two of them can shoot down almost 10% of the drones entering thier sector.
