SInce someone will ask IBM, does that not stand for Intercontinial Balistic missles, what does that have to do with space?
IBM's----

ah but they do not work that way.

I had a drone launcher ship and used it that worked except for the one at a time issue.

But I launched a set of drones from a planet in another system and they stopped once the ship left the system.

[Dracus]

That is right, once the target ship leaves the system, the drones lose contact and do stop.
Planets can not move, so the drones do not lose contact once they are launched, even if your ship leaves the target system.

No I was shooting planet to planet. Once my drone ship left the system my drones stopped.

I think drones need to be able to target empty planets.

I was hoping for IPMs but drones only seem to be useable in the same system.

Let me run some tests and as they seem to work in the beta Version but I did not run every possable attack. I will get back to you on this once I am done.

Ok I found a way to move drones as a group. Hold down shift and select them.
