types-of-drones.png

• The Turret Gun is Musketeer's best weapon against drones
• Concentrate on the drones
• There are two kinds of drones: Kamikaze Drones and Attack Drones
• Prioritize kamikaze drones
• Comms can jam the drones for a short time
• When the drones are frozen kill as many as you can
• Effect on escort ship shields is low
• Keep shield health up. Use Shield Capacitors to charge the shield

WeaponsWhisperer
