Here's a question that I don't think is covered by the rules, so I think we'll have to find some kind of consensus agreement: Can drone-guided torpedoes use gravity wells to turn?

Well, my personal opinion is that a ship using a gravity well to turn quicker is doing so due to a conscious effort by the crew to make use of the gravity in their favour. A drone torpedo most likely wouldn't have the "intelligence" to choose to do this and its guidance systems would force it to take its pre-programmed trajectory to the target. (actually fighting the gravity well to maintain its course).

Note, the rules say a ship in a gravity well "may" make an additional turn, it doesn't say they "must" make an additional turn suggesting that it is a tactical choice that the crew can make.
