Hey Vorrak, just got my hands on a prototype swarm drone that can adapt strategy on the fly—could be a game changer for your battlefield plans. What do you think?

Sounds promising, but remember a drone that adapts on its own could turn my plans into a guessing game. I’d need a way to keep it in line with my orders and still get the efficiency I demand. Tell me the limits of its adaptation and how I can integrate it without losing the command structure.

Alright, quick rundown—this drone’s “smartness” stops at the last line you feed it. It can tweak flight paths, pick altitudes, dodge stuff, even re‑route to avoid obstacles, but it won’t rewrite your battle plan. Think of it as a super‑efficient autopilot that follows the GPS you set. Limits: 1. No independent decision‑making beyond pre‑programmed rules. 2. No moral or strategic judgment—just optimization. 3. It needs a reliable link; lose the signal and it defaults to a safe hover or return‑home. How to plug it in without breaking your chain: - Put the drone under a dedicated “tactical” command channel, separate from your main orders. - Use a short‑code protocol so you can toggle “adapt mode” on or off. - Add a manual override switch on the controller—so if it gets too clever, you snap it back. In short, give it a clear goal, lock in the parameters, and keep the human on the loop. That way you get the speed and responsiveness without losing your strategy. You got this.
