Default Re: Carrier Battles Mod

A total drones thing wouldn't work too well for this mod, unfortunately.
A key reason to switch to missiles is their natural tendency towards overkill with no re-targetting.

A swarm of drones would keep killing and killing, while with missiles the first two or three in the volley will kill, and the rest will fizzle with no target to hit.
Its that built-in diminishing returns on the volume of ordnance fired that I'm going for.

Now, that's not to say some super-missile drones wouldn't be handy... I'll have to see how it fits later.
