ok ken and post aboot other ppl not reading rules  ::)

i agree flying a unit up edge of map is not as bad as setting a way point in the blackzone behind map so air drones can rape ur carryalls and kill ur harvesting.  its one thing when u send ur drones over a guys base and they circle in and out thats the bug but when u purposely set the way point thats just lame.  eits what does it do? its not like the airdrone, it just flys detonates and destroys ground  units/buildings its not like they rip a hole in ur air force.  ive had mass armys of eits killed just because of a few drones in the zone, at least they wont follow them that far when u finally figure out where the unit lost is coming from because they're on a waypoint :P like u could out run a dron in a eits in the first place  ;D

I have yet to see this bug work as people claim it does.  Once in a while, the odd Air Drone might be unreachable, but in 85%  + of the cases, it only provides a few extra seconds of cover for the Air Drones since they always hover in a circular arc and will hover *out* of the black space most of the time even *if* they are assigned to a waypoint.

the instances I am referring too are when a direct line waypoint that follows the edge of ur map is set into the blackzone  and then the airdrone is set to that waypoint there is rarely any coming out of waypoint it just flies back and forth following the line and their waypoin is well enuff behind my base that my aa troops or air-mines wont react.    its not the dipping in ant out that i mind, I can usually catch the buggers while they are dipping out.  Its when someone on purpose sets the waypoint behind ur base and they just zip back and forth off the map wreaking havoc on my spice flow or any aircraft unit i make.  Seeing i have yet to find a way top kill things in the blackzone (cause i cant lock on it to tell units to fire) i dont even try when i realize i've got a waypoint behind me.  Like i said earlier i tell to move its a lame tactic and if they dont then i'll quit and find another game. 8)

Well, you can't call it a bug, since it's programmed to do that, and other AA is firing back.

no im not saying its the airdrones fault for circling in and out of blackspace its supposed to circle.  and u say other AA is firing at the Drones in blackzone... not unless they dip out for a bit the AA wont (or maybe im just that unlucky) the only time my AA react is when they dip back in from off the map.  but when they have waypoint, if its set well enuff, that wont happen. Leaving them to tear me a new one in my spice production and preventing me from mustering an airforce.  Maybe the bug lies in where/how they are setting the way point... it shouldnt be able to be set off the map, behind ur base in blackzone.  I just despise the lamo-losers that think they can get away with it because no one talks/complains aboot it much.  I believe since the posting of the bug/cheapass-tactic (whatever you want to call it ;D) on Empworms site I've encountered it more.   No wonder he removed it  ;D

(sorry all forgot to take my medicine  ;D wont happen again  ;D) *spark, puff, puff*
