7 - drones burn x number of supplies per turn, per settings.txt (i think). if they are burning more than solar panels are generating, you are out of luck. i have not tried puttin pannels on drones though, so they might not work at all.
Don't they burn supplies based on how far they travel per turn?

Unlike ships, drones burn 200 supplies per turn even if they don't move at all. Movement burns normal supplies plus the drone's 200 per turn.

Re: Questions, part 5
Ouch. I thought that had something to do with why my drones were mysteriously being scrapped with an "out of supplies" message even though the drones weren't moving anywhere at all.

To expand on other peoples' answers, if you weren't high enough on the high-energy weapons tech, analyzing a wave-motion gun would just give you either ripper beams or incinerator beams...
