I got a few myself actually... In regards to Puke's answer about the troops, do you really need just a cockpit? I heard somewhere that you need at least one comp, cheapest is armor unless you have an org weapon in which case you get defense as well as pop supress.
clarification: if i gave resource conVersion orders three times in a PBW game will only the Last one run? I'm in trouble if that's the case
What is the point of drones, they are almost as much as a destroyer and much worse, for the cost of three or four or five or six you could put out a nice DN or baseship. Until you start seeing 30-40 you can stop them easily, they can get hit by most weapons making them worse than seekers in this regard. I guess on a low ship game with a high unit limit or something similar where you had a strong incentive i dont' see their use. It just doesn't seem like a good economical decision.
Also, you still need to be able to see your targets, and to get a spotter into one of my systems will take a concentrated effort, probably costing enough that you should have just built normal ships.
NOW, IF... you had the move to/warp order then you could begin using them like RD2s and SBM/SR HAWKS (explorers/warp missiles for you non-starfire ppl)
