There is no drone bug...

Other than the simple fact that loading up 250 spread out ships with seekers all the time is a huge micromanagement nightmare, of course.

There is still the problem that they keep launching in combat till the enemy ship is destroyed. So you could throw one sacraficial ship at a fleet bearing down on you and seriously deplete their stock of missles. If the combat ai more inteligently only launched enough drones to kill the available targetrs then it would be ok.

*unlurks

but Geo, you can do that. There is a 'Drones per Target' setting in strategies.

But does it actually _work_?

Also, it is a very imperfect solution, as the number of drones you want to shoot at two different targets is often quite different...
