Requested feature, existing drones that did not receive tech upgrades will now be given upgrades by repair drones, including the mothership. So lets say a striker drone has +1 plating, but you have the +4 plating upgrade. A repair drone will be able to bring that striker drone +1 plating every repair, so it will cost you ore.
Other minor fixes too. I still haven't found the error where a drone is destroyed but stays on the screen alive and fighting. Let me know if you know how to recreate this error so I can find it. Thanks!

I created a new test version with less lag! Please give it a try and let me know how it goes. Some extra changes:
1) 250ms roundtrip connection required to play
2) Birthed ships are slightly offset so you can see dupe units.
3) Slowed down the cruiser and striker drones very slightly

The multiplayer server now has 2G of memory, with the program abe to use 1.2G of it. Before it only had 0.5G of memory. Hopefully this will speed up the server and cause less problems for playerss.

At first I thought it was really difficult then I tried a little harder and I finally got most of the bugs worked out. It's far from perfect and has many synchronization errors, but it's enough to play 1v1. If you have a bad connection don't play it :) Major features:
1) Lots of minor bug fixes
2) AI fixes, like ships keep turning to attack even on move
3) Ships are 10% smaller than original
4) Live 1v1 another human connected to the internet
5) New scoring system.

After two months my game is featured on Kongregate's front page. And I get flooded with "Why didn't I get my badge?" emails. This game still has some bugs that occur rarely. I already tried doing this multiplayer for a few days but it proved to be harder than I though it would be.

I added a new SKIRMISH mode, where you can choose up to 4 players and change their color, control, ore etc. You can even choose your map, and whether you want the fog of war on. There was also a survival mode bug where the whole game crashed, that issue should be fixed now. A couple of other minor bugs are fixed too.

Drone Wars is featured on ArmorGames.com, also a minor change. The mine drone was not returning control when it died should be okay now.

Thanks all for your suggestions:
1) Sped up ore gathering and build time.
2) "Unselect All Units" you can press SPACE instead of ESCAPE.
3) Supply drones cannot drill too close to the mothership!
4) SHIFT or CONTROL with drag will add units to your group.
