Shooting in the dark
« on: December 17, 2017, 11:58:39 AM »
Wanting to recon a suspected alien world at a mere 22b of a jumppoint, I launched a drone against a waypoint1 nearby the planet position. The drone has a range of 38b and an active sensor. And then, as time passed, it did not move at all from its original location, even if the original message was that it was targeting WP1 with something like 90 days of travel time.

So I'm confused. I had no active sensor or anything around the WP, but it should not be a problem? I tried again in Sol, both under coverage of an AS and outside, and it worked, against 2 waypoints. That's a mystery...
