I'm on 6.  1, built some high-efficiency long range carrier missiles to drop second-stage sensor bouys.   Yesterday I could target arbitrary waypoints and send sensor drones to sit on them, today I go through the same process but the drones just sit on the ships that launched them.   At least, I think it's the same process, I don't think I'm doing anything different.   

Thank you for your time. 

Update:
I think I may have an idea about what's happening - it seems to have something to do with ordering the launching ship to cease fire while the missile is still en route.  The missiles seem to forget their target and stop when I order the ships to cease fire, but only some of the time.  I only want one missile to approach each waypoint, but I'm fairly new to the game and I don't really understand fire control yet.  Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
