EMP Drones

[Pavane]

The Wiki says: "These drones are designed to quickly slip past a ship's defenses and clamp on to deliver a series of high energy pulses that will short out systems aboard the enemy ship for a period of time."

My experience is that they do nothing of the kind. They seem to escort the carrier. You can select them and click to target an enemy ship, but they continue in escort mode. Do they have any benefit?

By the way, Suicide Drones work fine. You would think that their logic for moving to attach themselves to enemy ships and stations (like boarding pods) could be used for EMP Drones, with a different combat effect.

why are you posting here instead of tech support?

If you are saying it is a tech support issue, I will post there. That is what I am trying to determine by posting here first.
