I want drones

I actually onece MODed drones into the game, but MM in one of the patches made it so that you can only launch fighters, sats, and mines. In the SE4 Version 1.02 you could launch (or try to) anything you wanted to. I hope MM will change this.

What are drones suppose to be able to do?

By now, everybody has different ideas about what a drone should be.

I figure it should be a cheap little ship, where you program a series of orders (move here, attack there, warp through the other place), then launch it, and it will follow those orders, self-destructing when it finishes.

Perhaps a cross between a unit and a ship, with no maintenance, and the ability to warp, but you can't change its orders once it has been launched.

Your drones sound like cruise missles.

The AI do know how to play the game. Not like an expert is all...
