Topic: Drone lifetime

What is the lifetime of a drone in Starmada SFU? It was three turns in FC, so is it three activations? Or is it infinite until it hits or is destroyed? I've scoured the rulebook, but I can't find this explicitly stated anywhere.

Re: Drone lifetime

There is no set limit to a drone's endurance. We tested it with such, but found drones didn't spend enough time on the board to make it worthwhile.

Re: Drone lifetime

And a drone or suicide shuttle is killed by a single phaser hit of any type, or a single offensive/defensive tractor beam "hit", correct? Suicide shuttles still get the saving throw with tractor hits?

Sorry for all the questions - I just want to make sure I get it right. smile

Re: Drone lifetime

Drones are "killed" by a single phaser/tractor hit.

Suicide shuttles are "killed" by a singe phaser/tractor hit, provided they fail their saving throw.
