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.

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.

Ok I found a way to move drones as a group. Hold down shift and select them.

Not in this case.

ICBM = Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. I think drones have slightly longer range than that, and they certainly aren't ballistic

Anyone notice that in ship to ship combat, drones with antiplanet warheads attack ships? This just doesn't seem right somehow. Perhaps I should pay more attention to drone strategy settings? Specific situation involved a ship carrying a mix of antiplanet and antiship drones. All the drones launched and attacked the enemy ship. No planet was involved.

I had them attack a ship with just anti planet warheads. They were the antiplanet type in the type screen as well.
