So has any one used the Drones Yet?

I haven't even built a drone yet, so forgive me if this question is stupid, but what kind of commands can you give to a drone? Can you tell it to enter a system and attack any enemy it sees? Or do you have to assign it a particular target?

The only commands you can give a drone are "attack" and maybe "self destruct" (or maybe not.) You can't even tell it "move to" or "warp". This is quite annoying really, especially since you can't attack something if you don't have a view of the system it's in.

That's why I want the game to save your Last known scan of a system when you explore it.

(Which might cause nightmares if the *AI* can "remember" that... and send tons of anti-planet drones to your colonies.)

Omnipresent view of systems, anyone tried the drones with this ?
