hey,
Trying to see if a geo survey drone has some advantages over the good old way. Theoretically I see two:
a) send the drone to a very distant planet (planets of a binary star 10 bm away) so that you don't have to haul your ship there.
b) drop the drone over a big planet (as a bomb) and let it do its work slowly while you process something else.
Now, I'm trying to come with a size 24 drone for that (as my navy possesses 24 Cal. Torp launchers tubes) but I'm impeded by a few things.
Most notably, the max geo survey points of the missile is dependant of the engine I use, because I think the game assumes I'll burn up all my fuel travelling, which is not true. So any clue or design here, how you do the trick?
Should I design a missile engine with super low fuel usage anyway?
