I was thinking of making drones only for Pirates, since they are quite lacking in special features.
They seem to be a good thing to use for throwaway slave-driven ships.
I will probably get them in the next Version; I'm currently working on v2.6 PBW, and then will copy relevant stuff into the v2.6 with AIs.
I can Goldify a mod quite easily, so I'll wait until v2.6 PBW is tested reasonably before converting it to gold.
The real reason why drones are not is V3 is that I only managed to sort out all the Beta test paperwork less than a week from the mod due date.
I got it to run under Gold, and didn't dare add anything that would need further testing
