Title: Drones?
Post by: MehMuffin on March 17, 2012, 12:34:36 PM

What are drones meant for? I can't find any difference in their statistics from missiles, except that you cannot change the MSP set to engine power and they get less power per MSP in engine power.

They are much more fuel efficient. A drone of same size & fuel space will go ten times as far.

Drones have a set engine MSP amount, are 10x more fuel efficient, and cannot have agility MSP allocated. I've used them for long-ranged recon drones, long-range buoy deployment, and long-range MIRV missiles. They're less effective as missiles themselves since the lack of agility hurts their to-hit chances.
