Drones again...

[Rogue]

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!
