[Q]

I am very pleased by most of the announced changes in the next patch.

However I don't understand the reasons for:

"9. Changed - Drones can only target planets, ships, and satellites. Fighters,
mines, and other drones are too small to target."

From what I've read in this forum most player seem to share my opinion that at present drones are of limited value for the human player and almost useless for the AI. So why reduce their utility further???
