X3AP how do you fight drones?
TS keep dropping drones on me, what's the best way of dealing with those?
you can use missiles on them, such as hurricanes. not sure mosquitos have enough power to kill them or not. would be good to use a fast missile that retargets if possible.
I just shoot them down though with PACs when im in a fighter. just wait a sec until one makes a run at you and blast it. if you have any turrets on your ship, setting it to protect ship should automatically shoot them down.

if u have to kill em manually use pbe or pd(the flamethrower thingy), prg is also ok but not as good as the other 2Baratheon79 wrote:If you're in a fighter, just shoot them. Anything bigger, and you can either just ignore them, let your turrets take care of them, or I think I've seen them taken out by Mosquito Missile Defense on several occasions.

But PAC's work nice.

Mosquitos wll kill Mk I drones just fine. Mk II's take three or more mossies, but they're much slower and easier to target, so just shoot those down. BTW, Mosquito Defense Missile System, available via the Bonus Pack, will automatically target drones as well as missiles. MDMS is very useful, especially for fighters without turrets.Sinxar wrote:you can use missiles on them, such as hurricanes. not sure mosquitos have enough power to kill them or not.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Just dont do what I do, using 2 Titan's with all Capital killer guns, 2 Carriers, an 3 Shrikes fitted expressly to kill small stuff. When the titans open up they tend to kill my Shrikes who always seem to go out front an get in way of my Capitals ....
It seems you cant setup a Anti fighter frigate to protect your fleet without said fleet killing it.

yer I am trying that now. I removed the other two strikes an replaced em both with that Argon Missile ship (M something).... seems to work better because the missile ship stays back away from the fight... though every now an then a I get a thunderbolt up my arse to remind me to get out of way lol
