Re: Drones
In the next patch, you will not need a spotter, as Drones will be able to "attack" warp points, and thus move through them without knowing what is on the other side. At least, that's how I read the beta patch updates.

Re: Drones
Thanx Hotfoot
That is a lot of info in your [Edit: second-] Last post. Need some time to digest all of it.
For some reason I have 50 damage resistance for all missiles in my data base. Thank you for pointing out the error to me.

Sounds like a good patch.
But does anyone know if a race (with which you have a military alliance) can serve as a spotter?
And can the drones instructions be changed? Like if the target moves out of the system (no spotter there), is the drone doomed to wait until the rest of its supplies are consumed for the target to come back into the system?

What is "EMC"? And is it in common use that it should be included in the Acronym dictionary?

Re: Drones
EMC is a typo for ECM.
Once a drone has been launched, it cannot be recovered. Once it has been given orders, those orders cannot be revoked.
If you give it 2 Solar Sail IIIs, it will make 300 supplies per star per turn. |

That is so obvious, that it is embarrassing not to have seen it!

Re: Drones
One Last question on mines...I hope. 
The discussions in this thread and others do not address whether drones are affected by mines.
This ommission implies that they are not affected at all.
Is this true? Y/N?
