Re: Ninja Drones
What is a drone, exactly? My SEIV:Gold is on the way. Are they like strategic missiles, or disposable, zero-maintenance ships, or sattelites that can move only in the tactical map, or what?

Re: Ninja Drones
The first two guesses are right on the mark 
Just watch out for their supply storage... unlike ships and like fighters, they constantly drain supplies each turn and disappear when their supplies run out!

Re: Ninja Drones
'satelite's that can move only on the tactical map' could be modded.

Re: Ninja Drones
I've been thinking of working on a mod that turns drones into missiles. Work only in combat with no strategic movement allowing for the customization of missiles with various changes etc. Also allows for missile ammunition seperate from supplies. Only problem is the fire rate gets locked in to at least 1 per turn but only for as long as ammo Lasts.

I don't know about that. I tried adding combat movement onto a satelite hull a while back and it did absolutely nothing. It just stayed there.
Didn't try it on a satelite component though. Shouldn't make a difference but it might.

Re: Ninja Drones
no, have a drone engine that only provides tactical movement.

That's a nice concept, but why limit them to combat movement only?
Give them engines that provide combat movement, and much more expensive engines that provide strategic movement.
The only problem I see for this is that the AI will only use one type of engine for all cases... |
