Ignore, I did not understand how they operated... after playing a while longer I noticed that the drones do come out if you engage regular ships. I was trying to get it to attack a station and they never came out and so thought it was a bug but once an enemy ship appeared in system they showed up then.

Played lots of the first AI war, new to AI War 2 and nearly gotten the hang of all the changes.

At the begining of every game the Combat Factory you start with has a Drone V-Wing x20 units and Drone Fusion Bomber x20 that are not actually there. When I move the station to a new gravity well and immediately destroy distant members they will not go away like the other units in the Fleet.

Not sure what to make of it other than the game thinks this station should have these wings or if its just some other kinda bug.
