If not this will be the big weakness of the drones: Image your colony where you store some 50 drones and then an single enemy colony ship stumbles into the sector and all drones are launched automatically and therefore lost!!
I would hate that.
You have a point there, but I am not sure what could be done about it. Part of the definition of Drones, whether we like it or not, is that they can't be recovered once they are launched. I don't see that being changed. And there is no function to prevent them from being launched in combat that I am aware of. I suppose you could build a space station in orbit with cargo bays and no drone launchers and store them there.
