If the problem is probes then it will be hard to solve. If ff is off the drone can't simply go through the probe.

Ignoring drone-probe collisions might be possible, but would require changes to the autopilot code and collission code. And it would look silly.

You would however solve 3 problems in 1 go : the stupid nix ass base and the @#$%@#s/newbs probing green doors so miners can't dock and finally the stupid probe rams in ships.

Isn't there an easy way to exclude probes from ff=off? I think noone would object to being able to shoot/ram to death your own probes. I'm still amazed at the moron that developed the code that rams a bomber back through an aleph if it hits a tiny probe on the other side /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

probes are helpful when you want to stop at an aleph fast to camp

boost all the way to the aleph, ram the probe to stop instantly

If you had no teles outside your home, sounds to me like you shouldn't have bought Ass Starbases.

Problem solved!
