In my mind, there is a pretty big problem with the drones in their recent form. And it has nothing to do with the lack of a "move to" order.

It's that they are so darned expensive. They use the standard ship engines. A decent drone is more than 2K minerals to build. Even with no maintenance, they are just so expensive.

Easy enough to mod in special drone engines, with lower cost and supply usage. Makes them much more viable in my mind. Many people on the beta team did just that, and suggested it to Malfardor. I don't think you will see large scall use of them unless that is done, either by mod or patch.
