Re: Things we\'d like to see in the next patch
I would really like drones to be recoverable. In a recent game I tried to make a go with drones. I think as a weapon system they have potential.
The problem. Every once and a while an intel mission would get through and take over say a repair ship. It dies instantly but now there were 80 drones floating around with nothing targetable in range.
After the third time this happend I just gave up. It takes many,many turns to equip a drone armed fleet just to have it go poof. I gould also see this happening with a random encounter.
"Admiral Karg in route to the evil Drang systems encounters a Drang Colony ship. "Better make sure we kill it" and orders the entire fleet to fire 120 drones at the vessel. "But wont we need those when we engage the Drang Battle Fleet" pipes up an ensign. "Silence we may lose to the Battle Fleet but at least we made sure some civillians are dead".
