Default Re: Drones again...

Newbie question here.... I've looked through the forums, manual, and Online help and I'm stumped. It says that once you launch a drone it will head to the nearest enemy target and ram it. I have drones equiped with the explosive ship to ship wareheads, but when I launch my drones they bee-line towards the maps border and cower away from the target. I can't click on them as it treats them as "allied unit" and it as if I'm trying to target them. Any help would be cool with this one--maybe I need some kind of targeting computer on the host ship? Dunno, thanks for any help!

It could be the details of the strategy you have assigned to the drone designs. They follow a strategy you can define under empire settings (like any other) and assign with the design window. If it is set not to target ships, they might do that, for instance.

I don't know what I did wrong, but I did everything the same way I did it before and it works now. I did check the strategy settings (didn't know I could predefine that, thanks btw) and they were set to kamikazee. It works now though, neat things them drones! Thanks again!!!
