Drone and Anti-Drone Tactics?

[geoschmo]

I'm going to back off one of of my earlier statements because there were some changes made to drones late in the beta phase they I did not fully test. Others on the beta team did test the drones a lot, but I was more concerned with some other issues, mainly PBW related stuff and TCP/IP.

I am not certain they they can be launched against just planets. They may need to be colonies, and they may need line of sight as well.

As far as what constitutes line of sight, a cloaked sat should do just fine. Anything that allows you to see what is occuring in the system at the moment. Mines would not, but about anything else would.

I can tell you that the only difference between the drones in the gold demo and what is supposed to be on the gold CD is that you will get more tech levels which will result in larger drones. As far as what they can do and how they act there should be no difference. You should be able to test all this stuff with the demo and get your answers. If I get time I will try it myself, but I can't promise anything.
