There's an even more pervasive problem with targeting planets. Say you target a planet; with drones, or missiles. In tactical you target the closest square, planets being made of 4 squares. But no matter what, the misile or drone targets a distant square. It can happen that your missiles movement ends before impact. Now your drone has to endure another round of couterattacks before impact.

Oh well, that's really just a little randomness to keep the game interesting when you use missiles I guess, but these little tiny shortcomings add up to make drones seem less useful given the effort put in.

Hmmm, I was under impression it was fixed in one of the latest patches: the target point of a planet is its center now.
