If you want to use a drone for reconnaisance on a warppoint to see if it is defended/mined, then I suppose you could do this (If you have seen the system before or are Ancient Race): give a drone the order to attack a planet in the system (I am hoping you can give this order even for empty planets since you don't know which planets have colonies or not without any ships in there...if they limit the Attack to planets with colonies then you could try attacking all the planets to discover which had colonies!). Your drone should warp into the system and move towards the planet. You'll definately know whether it hit any defenses on the warppoint or what is in the system even.
