Drone glitch

[kite.san]

just wondering if anyone else encountered this.

 

i was getting impatient with my factories, so decided to use some drones for my first space mission to bulk out ot a full squad rather than wait for the second hab-module to finish building.

 

i deployed everyone for the first mission on the wargot mothership, won rather easily thanks to my John Woo cyborg. and then my drones were gone. they never got within the line of fire, so they can't have bene blown up, but they weren't in my list for my second, or third mission (haven't gone further than that just yet, i guess if they suddenly reappear i'll feel stupid)... okay, it's not all that big a deal, i brought enough 9mm AP for johnny-boy to depopulate an entire planet, and enough medkits to keep him alive long enough to do it, but it's still somewhat worrying... does anyone know what might've gone wrong?

Hi, I've just had a drone problem too. Playing Patch 1.2, Militia Mod, Shadow Warriors (latest) Rebalance. I had a drone, Johnny 1, that got destroyed, then at the post-battle screen it said I had collected a drone core, machine gun, and chassis. None of these were to be found in my inventory. I never thought much about it, since the drone had been destroyed.

 

Johnny 2 fared a similar fate, but he had not been destroyed! Johnny 2 was taken down to 25% health, but was not destroyed. At the end of the mission (his second) he was nowhere to be found. This is very frustrating. Heavy Machine Gun fighter drones have been phenomenal when dealing with rebalanced wargots, but if they keep disappearing then I certainly have a whole new challenge.
