AeoN2, you could have launched your Drone and attacked the Frigate before he got out system, you probably would have taken him out.

Also in regards to mines, I'm playing TDM 3.0, the Toran have sent drones into my systems, however, they have not triggered minefields that I had on my wormhole or over my planets. It showed the number coming in and then the same number when it attacked, I cke'd both in Strategic and in Tactical and mines were still there afterwords....

In regardst to drones, current game, late, only myself(2), Toran(1) and the Aquilan(3) left, Toran attacking in waves of Dn's & some baseships every once in awhile and I found drone carriers most excellent to help keep your fleets alive. Example, one of the Last battles i had, Toran attacked with 110 DN's, My fleet consisted of 51 ships including DN's, BC's, CA's and 6 Drone CV's. I launched 60+ drones in the battle and they most definitily made a difference. with their help took out his whole fleet even tho I had about 16 ships left with some damaged....

I didn't use drones a lot before, but now all my fleets have drone cv's especially those on wormhole defense...

just some ideas mac
