Once a drone has been launched, it cannot be recovered. Once it has been given orders, those orders cannot be revoked.

This is all true. however, I think new orders can be issued to a drone which has completed all previous orders and survived: For example if it was ordered to go through a warp point and survived, or if it attacked a ship/ planet and survived.

I thought a drone cannot be ordered to move to a specific location such as a warp point. Instead it must be assigned a target.

Have I got it wrong?

You're right, it does have to be assigned a target. Dogscoff is getting ahead of himself, in a fashion, and already including the ability of drones to "attack" warp points, which behaves to them in a similar way as the warp order, it would seem. Of course, us regular mortals won't get to see that in action until the next patch.
