Default Re: OT: Bug versus Feature

Jimbob - malfador@malfador.com will work.

I want "move to" and "warp" buttons for drones too, or ideally, options for whether those should be available or not (though I don't think I'd ever turn those abilities off, myself).

There are so many basic precedents for recon drones that I don't see why these should be disallowed. Earth probes like Voyager and Viking, the recon robot at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, modern real-world recon robots, etc.

The few people with reservations about it seem to want them to be harder to control that ships... maybe if "move to" orders could not be cancelled (as current drone attack orders can't be) that would appease these misgivings.
