Re: Newbie Drone Questions
ok,
1) I have seen the screenshot but was asking about the other drone sizes as well. I mean how big can a drone get?
2) I know they will be modable.... I was asking about the standard sizes...

Send a Drone through a suspect warp point to set off any enemy mines if present.
Cloak it, and send it to the star of an enemy, then blow it.
Etc. The uses are endless if one sits and thinks about it. A new tool to use in ones quest to be the ruler of all.
Well, I don' know about planet killers, since those components are pretty big. Hope you can put minesweeper components on them, though.
If the AI can ever learn to build bases on warp points, then you can always try your very own sbmhawks.

Re: Newbie Drone Questions
I agree, it would be nice to see AI build at least some bases on some wormholes, in fact, it would be nice to see them build more then they do now especially over 10-25 facitlity planets. SBMHawks, like that idea,
Drones open up a whole new range of ideas...
