Drones not launching

[Slick]

If you are talking about a simultaneous game and an anti-planet drone:

Version 1.81:
...
3. Fixed - AI will no longer launch "Anti-Planet" Drones in combat.
...


This was changed in the last patch due to the AI launching all drones in combat even if there was no planet involved. Then you couldn't recover the anti-planet drones.

I suspect a way to make this work is to make an anti-ship (type) drone but give it an anti-planet warhead and anti-planet strategy. Haven't tested this.

That answers the situation I saw, but not what normalphil said... unless he was wrong and they were anti-planet drones.

But it still wouldn't answer what normalphil said about PD drones... unless there were not PD targets, or the drones' strategy was set to not target the PD targets that there were.
