Topic: How would this drone situation be resolved?

1 - Can drones be targeted at other drones in Starmada SFU, as in Fed Com? I can't find any explicit statement either way in the rules. I'm not assuming the answer is "yes" because some things differ between the two - you can't fire ADD at Suicide Shuttles in Starmada, for example.

2 - Assuming the answer to the above is "yes", let's say a Klingon D7 fires a drone at a Fed CA. The CA then launches a drone targeted at the Klingon drone. The next Fighter Phase, the D7's drone activates first and enters the hex containing both the CA and the Fed drone. What happens?

I THINK that what happens is that the D7's drone makes its attack on the CA, and the CA's drone is removed from the board. Is that correct?

When a seeker flight activates, any one seeker targeting the activated flight may activate first (Starmada Unity Rulebook p.41). Thus, the Fed drone could interrupt the Klingon drone's activation.
