Default Re: Drones

Suicide becourse the drone can't go home (if it's launched from a planet) as it can only be given an attack order, not move order (Sucess or death).
If it doesn't catch up to the ship it should capture it will run out of fuel and they will die a miserable death in cold lonely space far from all their loved ones crying in the darkness, confined in the small drone (unless they have solar panels, or could you put a quantum reactor on a drone too?)

So a drone with a ship capture troop pod and a quantum reactor and a massive shield depleter, does that fit into a large drone (you've got to have some engines and a computer core to i guess...)
The ship capture troop pod isn't a unit, so that ought to work, right.

It should be nice to be able to make planet invading drones, see them come pouring out of the warp holes falling to the surface spewing out troops massacring everyting in their way. Making the population die a miserable death in cold lonely places among all their loved ones crying in the darkness, running wildly across the open plains (Got a bit carried away in this post I think)
