F-BCG has 6 DC yet the F-BCV has 12...
Carriers all have double control. As well as escorts. Droners are a mixed bag. The Kzinti CD as I recall was only supposed to carry self-guiding Type-III's for long range bombardment, hence the single drone control. Obviously we don't have those in SFC. Dreadnoughts of course were always escorted by other warships to transfer control to, and almost always a scout, which could use a scout channel to control additional seeking weapons. So drone control for dreads was never really an issue in SFB; due to the nature of SFC though, I wonder if single drone control on a dread really makes sense. |

Could the same be said about BCH ships as they have a command rating 10? They were always supposed to be in fleets as well. What about command cruisers? |

True DH...many of these ships wouldnt be caught without escorts or some type of fleet in SFB senarios from my understanding... Green...rgr tht...I was just going by what I recalled... I guess the correct question would be... How many other ships have more drone racks, than drone control ?  If it can be set at 8...cool beans...just make it what it is supposed to be...  |

This is definately one of those 'needs to be looked at' things.
The idea that thises ships would never be caught out in the open without escorts works well in SFB but for SFC it just doesn't hold water. Even if i had 2 wingmen with me in my C10K I still couldn't launch out the 8 drones and a scatter pack as drone control transfers don't happen.
Some middle ground should be reachable....but then again........

Human or AI wingmen? You share drone control channels with your AI wings. |
