Pick one of your deployed drones and look at it, why the hell is it shooting at targets with turret like capability? They've got forward mounted guns, they can't shoot that way. I think we're missing out on something here, drone assault strafing runs and dogfighting. One drone chasing another trying to get a hit, using it's agility to evade. Big ships getting small windows of opportunities to take down a a drone in it's strafing run when it's vulnerable.
Has any point back in history drones behaved differently then orbit and turret shoot?

it would pwn the server having to calculate all that, its just easier for performance that they orbit and shoot (I would imagine anyway)

Drones? What drones? When I zoom in onto them, they don't show?
Oh, right, I turned drone meshes off to save resources for important things. Silly me for forgetting it. |

How about just have carrier drones work like that?
Since they are supposed to be piloted craft iirc. |

I'd rather orbit my own drones and get a dancing ship. |

If only they had this in there.
Though Resistance on the PS3 has the Bullseye, a gun which does that replay thing. Fire a tracking bullet and you can be running away firing like a maniac, all the bullets arch backwards and hit the guy you targeted. :) Really fun in multiplayer.

Funny you should mention that. One time I got my vagabond to do the 'windmill'. I set the speed to low as it goes and I believe I tried to approach one of my drones that was orbiting me horizontally.
Ya your all jealous of my internet spaceships dance maneuvers.
