Well, I'm not 100% certain about it either, but it makes sense in a way, because I've let bases stay in drone riots forever, trying to get them to revolt, and it never happened. When I posted about that here, someone told me what I tole you. MariOne will scold me for passing on information I haven't verified myself, but there you are.

How does Domai get other revolting drones?

I once gained a city from drone riots in multiplayer. We were pacted and both of us were pirates, the city was size 7 so I seriously doubt it was all drones. I was going to keep it but then my friend declared that if I didn't let him take it back there would be war. I was tempted by his offer but eventually vacated it and let him recapture it, on the condition he gave me back all of the energy credits gained from the capture. I would have gone to war for it, but for the fact it was considered a "captured" base. I can't say for certain if it was the second turn the city was in riots.
I also recently lost a city to riots in SP to miriam, it was small and distant from my HQ (I was morgan running Green/wealth), luckily I had my army nearby and could retake the city with minimal loss of life.

Well, that begs the other issue, then: if all the non-specialist citizens are drones, does that provoke drone revolt? It does seem unlikely (barring probe action) that a size 7 base would be all drones, but it seems quite possible that a size 7 base could have, say, three drones and four engineers. No?

I've had a revolting base go over to the drones twice, but in both cases the drones were the closest enemy faction to the base so I'm not sure that proves anything. I've never had a base come over to me when I was the drones. Has anyone else ever gained a base?
