Quick question.

Post by theboomzone »

Is it possible to use enemy drones? I won a battle while the enemy had an anti-personell drone in my ship and there's just a de-activated drone in my ship that I can't use.

Nope. I was also hoping that a Drone Recovery arm could scoop up enemy drones left after the fight, but sadly no.

I think I'd like to be able to destroy my own boarding drones. Slightly off topic I know, but in the case of the boss it landed in the missile launcher room (good) but I could no longer use it once it had dealt with the weapon.

Absorbing the enemy ship's drones could be a nice touch. After all if they weren't destroyed then what's stopping you?

I once had a ship with an enemy drone aboard it for almost an entire sector. It had moved away from the breach into a system-less room, so I just left it there, sort of like a battle trophy.

I think that if you destroy it out of battle you should get a free drone part.

How about this then - Drone Recovery Arm and you get like 3 scrap for every enemy drone floating about. I mean. You cant bring em on-board, what if they are rigged to blow? Smashing them and swoop up the pieces sounds reasonable.
