:However, there is a way to make drones have a chance to miss - make the warheads into direct-dire weapons with range 1 and enormous supply use per shot. Haven't tested, but should work."

There are problems though. the drones don't disappear until after combat so they:
-contiune to soak PD fire until destroyed
-get in the way of other incoming drones (and anything else)

IIRC, drones with direct-fire weapons will fire, and then ram the target as soon as they can.

That would clear them out of the combat arena, and alter the damage pattern a bit too.

I actually like the use of limited supply generating components, since they in themselves don't make supplies useless. Now if these power plants actually generate supplies in addition to storing them, I might not care too much, but those solar collectors make nice filler space on my repair ships.

Suicide: that changes if you change the strategy. And you HAVE to change the strategy, otherwise they will try to ram *first*, then fire.

I supposed "point blank" with the secondary as kamikazie might work.. have to try that.
