Drones really hate me!

[Growltigga]

Can some bright spark out there tell me what I am doing wrong?

I have just developed drone technology. I would like to load my drones up with meson bLasters or whatever and use them in conjunction with light cruisers as close assault ships. Good sound tactical thinking I consider

BUT everytime I get into a brawl, irrepsective of the strategy setting I have on the fleet or the drones, the wretched things fire one bLast on the meson cannon and then ram the opposing side - hardly environmentally friendly and evidence of a resusable galaxy

can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong
