Default Re: Drone Problem - Feature or Bug?

Drones can not be given orders. I had in mind specifically that you can't tell it what to do during combat, but it would make sense that it disregards strategy. Drones have a default in se4 to ram the enemy even if you give them missiles, they'll ripple off missiles but then go on to ram. I would imagine the same applies to se5. So far in Se5 I give them a cloaking device and scanners and seed them througout enemy systems. For some reason they never run out of supplies. I do give them extra supplies. In combat they sit and do nothing. I can't move them because they're drones but they don't act because they have no warheads.
