Hi Mephisto! I betcha that IP address hint you gave me will work! Will try it with the boys ASAP.

On the other issue, Drone AI references. I think I have discerned something important here. Yes, the standard AI's of the races in 1.60 do not seem to recognize the 'Drone Attack' strategy in their AI_Design_Creation files.

Point 1: There are two types of drones, anti-ship and anti-planet. Therefore two types of targeting priorities are called for depending upon which type of drone is to be built and directed by the AI. However, the 'Drone Attack' references I have seen, such as in the Default_AI_Strategies file, have only one set of priorities. Note that the specs in that file differ remarkably from the previous example held forth in these discussions, your own Toron race.

Suggestion: Why not use "Ram" as the targeting strategy for Anti-Ship, and "Drone Attack" as the targeting stragegy for Anti-Planet? This would avoid any immediate need for hard-coding a response to this problem.

But would it generally make the game AI's funky and in need of major adjustments?
