"Sorry, what "drone wars scenario" are you talking about?"

It's in the extras folder, in the ScenerioPack zip file.

That's why I always use a 'spotter' for drones. Just an escort with engines (and cloaks if I have the tech).

Another use for Recon Sat in enemy systems...

Recon Sats tend to be useless.

For friends, it's offending.

For enemies, it's relatively hard to send in a transport, lay one in, and get out into a vital system before a Cruiser is hot on your tail.

Recon sats are really only good for Nebulae and Asteroid systems.

Of course with gold there might be more usages.
... which i still don't have...

Fly like an eagle my behind.

Thank you for the hint!
Played it and it confirmed until now my previous observations: the AI uses drone carriers as he uses fighter carriers but seems not to launch drones from a planet or a carrier to attack a target outside its present sector location. Anybody seen this??
