Drone and Anti-Drone Tactics?

[Suicide Junkie]

Yes, but if you just need to move up one system, into no-man's land, then they could move there, see some targets and attack.

Basically, the move-to enables exploration orders.

tks "Q" & SJ, I was starting to get a little

just some ideas mac

Why I want a 'move to' or warp capability.

1. Recon drone: Send a drone through an explored warp point. Even if that was the only mission I could give and the drone was destroyed, it still performed the designed recon function.

2. Clear mine fields: Recon drone from 1 above discovers mine field. Send in mine clearing drones to clear minefield.

3. Warp point bombardment: Recon drone from 1 above discovers targets. Send in drones to attack ships.

Is it possible to group drones for movement/attack?

I attached a planet with 10 drones and had to give the attack command to each one individually. Each drone moved to attack one at a time. I would like to group the drones and have them attack all at once.

Yeah, you can select them with shift+click to move and attack as a group.

Thanks for the info Rollo. Kept looking for a button, and forgot about the shortcuts.

The "drones will automatically select a target when their target is destroyed" applies to tactical combat, but not at the system level.
