Subjet already tells the question.

Thanks

If my pilot is certain to face death... I want full ramming speed towards the enemy ship...

No, because a pod has no means to agress you: 'agressive' drones simply respond to incoming damage. In order to kill a pod with drones you will have to specificly order them. The cruel method is to scram the pod and let a single drone slowly peel it's defenses.

Fun fact: assisted drones cannot be commanded to attack pods either.

Thanks. Now I dont have to worry about drones accidentally getting me into trouble.

Any time you set yyour drones to agressive they can "Potentially" get you into trouble.

For instance:

If you use things like a MTU and someone shoots it, your drones will auto-attack them making you a vaild target for the agressor.

You're undermining your arguments against the archon fleet more and more each day.

Shooting pods is of great strategic importance. The inability to do so is the entire downfall of the slowcat fleet and why N3PL will fail.
Obviously.

shouldn't you leave the pods to their 20minute explosion time so they can't reship

I love my little drone friends, but I will never ever trust them to keep me out of trouble when set to aggressive. And nor should you.

Fair warning.

Well the scenario is that when playing Red vs Blue, we are not allowed to kill pods of the opposite faction we are a war with. I just wanted to make sure my drones are not gonna be triggerhappy on a pod, just because CONCORD allows it.

But thanks.
