DRONE
DECOY DRONE
ActivatedBattleship only
Launches a combat Drone towards the target location. Enemy ships will immediately switch target to the Drone if they are within range. The Drone has no weapon and only serves to shield nearby Battleships from damage. The Drone stays at the target location until its Hull is depleted, or the activation timer runs out.
