Weapons choice : advanced technology is useless ?

Originally posted by capnq:
Fighters can be "parked" in orbit or a warp point, and won't use supplies until they move again or get into combat. After drones are launched, they use supplies every turn, even if they don't do anything, so they can't be left in place indefinitely.

In 1.78, this now depends on your settings.txt. The default is:

Fighter Supply Usage Per Turn := 5

Fighters and drones can also each be given immunity to mines in settings.txt.

DUC's - powerful, easy-to-research weapons, but with the disadvantages others have mentioned, and also they are fairly short-ranged, and perhaps most important: they cost a lot more than most other weapons, for what you get.
