Phoenix: ah, I see. I didn't go back when used. Didn't know I couldn't.

Re: How do you use drones?
Drones appear to have many of the characteristics of a mine except that you can move them within a system using the attack order and they have to undergo combat rather than just inflict damage automatically.
They dont seem to really be useful until you get the level 2 Version. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

I wouldn't agree at all with any of that, actually. |

How do I use Drones?
Defensive Purposes only really, as the supply limits arent really that high and as the supply goes at 0, the drones self destruct.
I only keep about 10 ship to ship drones on planets and 5 assorted drones on military installations and starbases, just in case some revolutionary gets bored

Re: How do you use drones?
In full tech games, I got some good results using Drones with Null-Space Projector, a Combat Sensor and a ECM.
4 of these usually can destroy a heavy and expensive Aquilaeian DN!
For races with Psychic tech tree, think that the Alliegiance Subverters could be nasty.

Re: How do you use drones?
In one of my solo games, anti-ship drones are the main thing that's been keeping the Cue Cappa from completely crushing me. Last time I looked at the stats, the 24 drones I've lost so far had destroyed over 5300kT of enemy ships.
I don't remember what bonus I gave the AI when I set up that game, but the Cue Kappa have been using small fleets of cruisers, while my fleet is only a mix of destroyers and frigates.
