Just a few thoughts about how the Shielded Missile drones for the Riptide work, please let me know if I have this right.
* The Drones form a unit with the Riptide. The Riptide isn't a Character so it can't Look Out Sir to the Drones, meaning that if you want the drones to protect the Riptide they need to be closer to the enemy.
* Since the Drones+ Riptide are a unit, every time a Drone dies the unit has taken 25% casualties, forcing a Morale check.
* Whilst accompanied by Drones, the Riptide cannot use the 'Boost' ability of the Nova Reactor because only the Riptide itself receives the bonus movement (p.45 CTE)
If all this is correct, I'm not all that sold on the Drones. Do I have any of this wrong?
