Here is an image of the new alien fighter drones launched from one of their carriers and in combat with fighters from a Hydra.

Nice. They have chain guns or alien weaponry?

They use the fast shooting alien turret. I know the screenshot does not show much action, but believe me, when the Terran fighters go against the alien drones it's simply awesome.

No, only six and their weapon is not as precise as the Terran fighters weapon.

I do have one question. Are the alien fighter drones going to replace those small green and purple things for just an add on for the carrier. Also will the mini guns be able to turn fast enough to hit them and will rocket turrets ignore them?

No the drone carrier is a new separate carrier. It only appears in later missions. All turrets can engage them, missiles can even follow them. The effectiveness of the various weapons depends mainly on the angle of approach of the individual drones. If a drone flies directly towards a mini gun, it's probably dead, if it does a flyby on the other hand, then lasers or flak turrets will be most effective. Needless to say that a single missile will certainly blow the damn thing out of the sky.

No, that would make the game incredibly difficult, since the enemy masterminds can basically generate infinitely many of them. So, don't worry.

It's about to be submitted (within the next few hours), then it's up to Apple to review it (currently takes around 5 days).
