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.

Hotfoot, I am a bit confused. On the one hand, you seem to say drones can "attack" warp points and thereby move through them. And on the other hand, you say we cannot do it until the next patch.

Which is it?
