Re: Strategy talk: How to use drones
I have only tried this once but... Light Cruisers armed with drones and a few dreadnoughts and a few cruisers can take on a bigger fleet that has bigger ships and win. When your done most of the LC's need extensive repair but that is a lot better than replacing a fleet. The upshot of this tactic is COMBINED ARMS. If you have a good Fleet mix chances are you can fight and win more battles. Keeping your fleet in being is a major concern and advantage if you can do it. Plus LC's and drones are cheaper to maintain. Than the same number of Dreadnoughts. Just a Thought and proven only once.
