What decides a Defense Drone Mark II's target when there's laser alongside with missiles/boarders? I've yet to be able to toggle it that precisely and have been hit by quite a few missile/boarder due to laser shots. If there's no reliable way to prioritize the DD2 to missiles and boarders, wouldn't that become a liability instead of versatility? Especially with 4 power compared to DD1's 2....and also because sometimes it'll miss laser shots simply because they were too fast.

Not that shooting down lasers is not welcome - it's just that missile/boarder usually presents a larger threat, and personally I'm much more comfortable without direct missile hits and breaches....

I agree! But I wish I could tell my anti-ship drones what to shoot at too, while we're talking about it...The AI is just random...

since when can DD2 even shoot laser fire?

i just found out it can do this... i am locked in a battle against a Engi Scout... it has a DD1, a DD2, and level 2 Shield... with my little Burst Laser II i can't get through the shields...

my Burst Laser II fires 3 shots... should be enough to get through the shields... but cause of the DD2... i can't... and the DD1 took down all my missiles...

i'd say that the DD2 would be a lot more useful if it just took don't missiles... and didn't miss that often ^^; why have it shoot down Laser fire when you have your shield to defend against that?
