Not able to kill the scouting drone

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Hello,

I am not sure if it is a bug or not but my opponent scouts me with a scouting drone for 25 quanta and the drone was in a hole. I made a Apollo and a Pan. The Apollo fired approximately 1 min but the drone does not die. I think he saw all my tech, units everything without me beeing able to do something against. Exist a opportunity for that behavior of the scouting drone? Is this intention or a bug? In the trouble of the fight I was not able to test it further.

 

See you

Normally I dont have the problem but in fact it happend :(

Maybe the terrain was in the way or something? They talked about true line of sight? I dont really know.

I wish they made it so fighters can shoot them down. People put them in places I can't reach with an Apollo but still gives them some useful vision and there is nothing I can do about it.

Sometimes when killing the drone the units will stop firing after a time so I assume it is dead and not giving any intel, but the drone is still physically there, so I'd say that is a bug.

Tbh I think they are a little too hard to see. They do give off a radar signal but if they are in your base or around a node in your vision. then they are very easy to miss.
