Most players recommend treating sentry drones as if they were a second set of guns. Deploy a full flight within range of your targets and turn them on - and then then use your ship to defend the drones, shooting the smaller, faster ships that will be the first to arrive. | Most players recommend treating sentry drones as if they were a second set of guns.

Given the power of the drones, the larger, slower ships will likely be killed ''before'' they can arrive. If they do arrive, however, and if any drones are damaged, pick them up and replace them.

If things get too hot, pick up all your drones, run out to range, drop the drones again, and continue the fight. This approach is somewhat boring, but it is effective and relatively safe. | If things get too hot, pick up all your drones, run out to range, drop the drones again, and continue the fight.
