Drones: Magic Cheat?

[PvK]

The satellite suggestion was that they should be able to deploy themselves - i.e., it needs move-to.

The minesweeper thing I assumed would need programming to make the sweeper components actually do anything, but I haven't tested it either.

Problem is, unless you're in a binary or trinary system, it's not viable.

"I tend to think minesweeping components should be allowed on drones, but that would require programming work that might better be directed elsewhere."

Why code work?

"Vehicle Type := Ship\Base"

That's from the minesweeper entry in components.txt. Change it to allow drones, and it might work. Don't have time to test it right now myself.
