The thing with satellites and supplies is that satellites get built-in quantum reactors for free. Supply use on any satellite-mounted weapons is irrelevant because the supplies available is always limitless, right up until the satellite is completely destroyed.

Before you start rejoicing too much about drones, keep in mind that the only order you can give a drone is "attack", and you can't cancel a drone's orders. Drones also cannot join fleets, they never combine into convenient stacks to allow easy selection of an entire pile of 50 drones to give the same orders to, and even if multiple drones go through a warp point on the same day they will come out the other side and fight in much smaller groups. All of these issues are hardcoded and not moddable.
