Re: Drones, noticed something odd...
ah but they do not work that way.
I had a drone launcher ship and used it that worked except for the one at a time issue.
But I launched a set of drones from a planet in another system and they stopped once the ship left the system.

Re: Drones, noticed something odd...
That is right, once the target ship leaves the system, the drones lose contact and do stop.
Planets can not move, so the drones do not lose contact once they are launched, even if your ship leaves the target system.

Re: Drones, noticed something odd...
No I was shooting planet to planet. Once my drone ship left the system my drones stopped.
I think drones need to be able to target empty planets.
I was hoping for IPMs but drones only seem to be useable in the same system.

Re: Drones, noticed something odd...
Let me run some tests and as they seem to work in the beta Version but I did not run every possable attack. I will get back to you on this once I am done.

Re: Drones, noticed something odd...
Ok I found a way to move drones as a group. Hold down shift and select them.

Re: Drones, noticed something odd...
Not in this case.
ICBM = Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. I think drones have slightly longer range than that, and they certainly aren't ballistic
