I think this is an accurate statement. The concerns that I have seen raised are that this would blur the lines between ships and drones.

If you could make swarms of no-maintenance drones and control them the same way you would ships, why would you build ships? The inability to resupply is not enough since you could put a QR or solar panels on them and wouldn't need to resupply.

I would still like to see the move-to order added, but I can understand that reservation to it.
