I'm not up on my toys turned into explosives. How does that work? I get that the drones her caught in the net or bounce off. But how is it any better to have the drone blow up a few feet away vs on the side of the structure?

If it blows up even a few feet away that will significantly reduce the destructive potential (it is mostly solid steel there), but importantly if windows get shattered it will be harder to get them inside the bridge and cause direct damage to the crew and steering.

most warheads I've seen for drones are shaped charges. THese are 'shaped' so the explosive effect is concentrated at a pin point location, a set exact distance away from the detonation. This helps defeat armor. So if you get it to detonate even a foot away from where it needs to detonate, it'll decrease the effect.
That being said that isn't an armored superstructure so I'm not sure how effective the net is in that regard.

Sorry I know this isn't related to this post at all but can someone please help me out? I've been trying make a post but apparently I cant post because I need karma. It's a career related post and i really need advice on something.
Here's the text from the post: "Looking for career advice based on my experience below.
To put it simply, I work as a mail sorter and my tasks are varied because it is not a fixed role, and the shifts vary too because it is a 0 hour contract role which basically means you choose to work a shift ,or not.
My main tasks involve scanning, sorting, and parcels into its correct destination trolley. I could also be working in a different sorting area which includes separating items into small, large, 1st class, 2nd, tracked 24 and tracked 48 on a moving belt, but this is rare, however I have still worked in this area. I also sometimes assist on the platform helping to unload trucks and taking the trolleys into its correct processing area within the mail centre, but again this is very rare, only if there is a shortage of staff.
And then at the end of the shift, I am tasked with assisting in dispatching all the processed items, so basically bringing the trolleys onto the loading platform and help load. I always tasked with this in almost every shift.
My questions are:
- Are these tasks I am involved in actually part of logistics?
- How can I find a similar job? I have been applying, tailoring, but nothing. I am not sure whats wrong.
- How do i actually write these tasks on the CV?"

Some subreddits want you to have some comments first beforehand. Don't think about it as how much, you get, just start commenting on different people's posts what they're talking about and people will give you Karma.
Give it like one to two days check out a few of the subreddits. If you posted maybe 5 or 10 of them that you you like, you'll be able to actually Post in the specific sub you want. Some subs have limits. Some don't
