Default Re: Recovering Drones

"I'm not particularly very happy that it has to be included as the result of what is most likely a bug."

Drones are not recoverable by design.

EDIT: check out vehiclesize.txt if you don't belive me. Lots of comments on how things work. Some of them are out of date, but drones not being recoverable is mentioned. Also notice that the abilities for drone launchers say "Can launch drones into space. 1 drone can be launched per combat turn and 4 drones can be launched per game turn."

Nothing about recovery. Fighter bays, by contrast:
"Can launch and recover fighters from space. 1 fighter can be launched per combat turn and 4 fighters can be launched per game turn."

The ability names are similar. "Launch/Recover Fighters" and "Launch Drones"
