Default Re: What good are drones? [EOM]

Gentlemen,

I am using drones in my DevNull Mod game vs the CPU. My current tactic is to use them to glass the computer's unprotected rear planets, rather than launch a ship to do it. The zero maintenance is a big bonus.

I especially enjoy launching them from a system where I sent a cloaked troop ship to capture the planet. I had some drones in the cargo bays to begin with, and have been building them ever since. Occasionally, I deliver a new load via transport.

This keeps the damnable CPU players off balance while I grind through their systems one at a time.

Cheers!
Trajan
