Default Re: Drone and Anti-Drone Tactics?

My opinion only, but I think we need to look at how the drones operate in the different settings,
ie; Stratigic combat vs, Tactical, Turn based vs Simultaneous. From reading the Posts, and I may be way off base, but it appears that drones in tactical combat can be recovered but not so in Strategic, I haven't seen anything yet on the difference between turn & simultaneous. Also that once launched they will look for additional targets if their priority target was destroyed, or they may be given fresh new orders. This sounds like a contradiction, except I took it to mean in 2 different types of combat, 2 different results. What happens if none of the above apply, are the drones then automatically destroyed? In which case?

Sj, if you were able to "move to" to front lines, if that was several systems out, wouldn't supply for a drone become a problem as far as movement over that distance? my opinion only, if drones are considered small enough to be carried like ftrs then their supply would also be limited as to distance.
