Boron tragically died. Lasers and missiles still pretty much dominate. PTFE is the best laser armor.

There's been some interesting work recently with small railgun drones (essentially missiles with tiny railguns up front) and high-velocity missiles. There was an AI-v-AI tournament a couple months back, you may find it interesting: unofficial tournament.

Never got any acceptable combat effectiveness with any kind of weaponry on drones.

Never got any acceptable combat effectiveness with any kind of weaponry on drones. YMMV. After apophys obliterated everybody in the tourney with MPD laser stars and published the design the are warships even viable with all the lasers thread perked up and eventually started spitting out counters to it, mostly small gun drones and multi-stage missiles. NTR lasers may be a different matter...

A shame the game doesn't allow custom sensors, doesn't take lasers beyond 10 Mm into account and the AI doesn't know how to use RCS for lateral dodging or how to use dual drives...

I got my drones to survive a flyby at less than a kilometer away though. And the laser drones had several gees of acceleration. Nothing can dodge a 30km/s projectile that close, at least not while carrying relevant firepower.
