Federation Commander

Are drones fired from fighters controlled by them as the "Launching units"?
or
Do the drones count against the unit that launched the drones (usually 6 or 12)

(4F2e) Control: Drones and suicide shuttles must be

Drones launched by fighters are controlled by the fighters. They may control any drones they launch, so if they have two on the board, they can control both. This means two things:
1) They must remain within range of the drones to maintain control.
2) If the fighter is destroyed, the drones are removed from the board.

Hope that helps.

thats exactly what I was looking for. And it completely changes my strategy against my 15 y/o son this weekend.
