Has anyone here had problems with mining drones not responding to any commands after launching from the drone bay? I am new to this game but i know that with my current skill level i should be able to control two drones in space. But when i launch the drones after i lock a target asteroid the drones just float around the perimeter of my screen and i dont even see the drone, all i see is the name basic mining drone with an X below it. And it says that the drone is inactive.....I dont get it.

wait for 3 minutes and look ifthey briing anything.
Alsotryit on low level ore , if you use a drones taht canbring 10 m3 on ore whose unit is 16 m3 it wont do anything.
Also dont forget to orderthem to mine repeatedly:)

I had a drone that refused to do anything, turned out he was badly damaged and had to be repaired. If thats a bug or feature I'm not sure. ------------------------- Grand Agitator Currently homeless, mail or convo if interested

Your dronebay won't launch more drones than you can control. I'm a regular combat drone user and find that on a very rare occasion (maybe twice) my drones simply wouldn't act. I never figured out why, a few hours and a restart later they were fine.

Maybe the trained chimps that control them have to take a smoke break

1) have you given them the command to mine the asteroid? At the bottom of your overview is the drone bay folder and you ahve to right click on this and select the option to mine. It takes 1 minute per cycle I think plus travel time to and from the asteroid so like it was said above you might have ot just wiat.
2) Drones that just orbit you and don't accept commands are usually just damaged. I've got a folder named disabled because i hate launching them and then not being able to use them. I never remember to fix the bloody things
