Re: Robots and Drones in SG2.

G'day guys,

>Drone units are programmed with a set of orders before the start of the
battle. 
>They will follow these orders to the letter until destroyed.

I do something similar for my Daleks. Each Dalek command is given an
objective it must take. To change objectives I must pass an SG style
communication roll, but with pretty stiff modifies if I haven't taken
many
casulaties trying to get the objective yet. You may want to consider
something similar (as I assume humans are still running the show from
somewhere) then again maybe your circumstances do that already.

>One that I was thinking of adding was the "Self Preservation Order"

While individual Dalek commands don't have this I do have something
similar
in that if teh Emperor Dalek is killed then every unit on the table must
spend its next activation taking a confidence test. If they fail they
withdraw to their baseline.

Cheers

Beth
