    Likely a tactic they used in the past against other species.

      It's not that big a leap. The drones don't care about their lives. Their path of logic is simple: weapons ineffective, seek alternatives, ramming speed. When you can't shoot and your primary protectorate is about to go down, you have to so something.

          The drones have an artificial intelligence. So they can adapt their strategy.

          There are different types of shields that could be used.
          The Destiny shields sound to me like they only repel weapons fire, not physical objects.

            Destiny shields do repel physical objects. They have on multiple occasions. They were simply set in such a way that they were less able to deflect the drones than they would have been normally.

              It was working wasn't it, so it was a good plan.

                the drones do not HAVE any lives. they're machines designed to win. and they likely have a vast databank to draw winning tactics and strategies from

                  That is true.. Though it also makes me wonder, do those command ships have the capacity to make more?

                    probably not
                    For something like that it would be best to treat as a ship with guns and tie drones to specific ships (to avoid confusion in battle).

                        Though we never saw any hint of weaponry on those command ships.

                            RE the drones changing their weapons frequencies/etc.. Eli stated that thanks to the one they captured, they had learned the drone's weapons frequency range... so even if the drones did (as they may have done) change their frequencies, the range was covered by Destiny's modification to their shields.

                              Even the command ship that showed up int he Atmosphere never seemed to have any weapon pods..

                                Don't need weapons when you've got 1000 drones.
