missile/drone weapon

Yeah so I had another idea about missiles. Howabout some kind of drone weapon where you could fire a scout into a certain area to get a better look around. It could have a time limit on it so it would only last say, 30 sec. and then explode, or a missile that you could guide yourself. Once you launch the missile, the view switches over to the missile's nose cone, and you could guide it with the mouse, except you wouldn't be able to control the speed of the thing. Plus, once it was fired, your ship would be left in the open without a pilot, making it more of a balanced weapon. Of course, it too would need a timer, and self destruct button (left click?), and a way of seeing if your ship is being shot.

Sure.
The ultimate long range weapon.
As long as it leaves you defenseless I don't think this would be too powerful of a weapon....
Just no one shot kills :)

Well like my other missile suggestions, for a long range missile, make it superfast, and unmaneuverable.

You need to get a decent line up against your target before firing, and you have to be relatively close or else you'll miss, and you won't be able to turn around.
