drones riles !! plus some bug in strategies.

The game manual? Seems like a pretty authoritative source to me.

Drones are large computer-controlled missiles. They are designed much like small ships and can carry engines, shields, weapons, and most especially, warheads. Drones are usually equipped with a large warhead used to damage ships or planets. Drones are launched from ships or planets and seek out an enemy target. Once the drone encounters the target, it will ram the target and do as much damage as possible. Most drones are constructed with special materials giving them an increase in their speed.
