How do drones choose their targets?

Question

How do anti-ship and beam-drones choose their targets? Is it always random or is there some pattern or some other method?

He's not asking about the difference between them, he's asking how either type picks its targets.

It seems that a drone chooses its target per random.

Yes, thats as far as I can tell too, this answer does not help at all. – Ender Jan 26 at 12:11

Ok what should help, link to the wiki which states it is random – BanditoBunny Jan 26 at 12:22

That'd be a good start. – Shadur Jan 26 at 12:47

By the way, neither of the main wikis says how drones choose targets. – murgatroid99 Jan 26 at 16:08

Doesn't the game itself say it's random? – SevenSidedDie Jan 26 at 18:09
