Re: Drone and Anti-Drone Tactics?
Is it possible to group drones for movement/attack?
I attached a planet with 10 drones and had to give the attack command to each one individually. Each drone moved to attack one at a time. I would like to group the drones and have them attack all at once.

Yeah, you can select them with shift+click to move and attack as a group.

Thanks for the info Rollo. Kept looking for a button, and forgot about the shortcuts.

Re: Drone and Anti-Drone Tactics?
The "drones will automatically select a target when their target is destroyed" applies to tactical combat, but not at the system level.

Re: Drone and Anti-Drone Tactics?
Is the code fix to allow drones to warp or "move to" in work? Will this bug be fixed for the Gold release in Feb?

It is no bug but a design decision. It might get altered but don't count on.

Re: Drone and Anti-Drone Tactics?
It may be not a bug but it is a mistake IMHO that the drones can't be used for reconnaissance due to the lack of the "warp" / "move to" command.
The way it is now drones are actually just large long range missiles.
