...In my mod, I made Ion, Tachyon, Null-Space, EMP, Plague, Neutron, Radiation, etc., Versions of drone warheads for my mod -- they're researched as part of their respective weapons categories (i.e. you get Anti-Planet Neutron Warheads if you have Drones and Planetary Weapons). Doubled all of their damage, too.

Drones are definitely useful once you make them useful. =)

Have you tested these yet? In my past experience specialized-damage warhead components do not work. I'll be testing again soon as I have a new game with new data file mods in progress.

And you don't need to set the warheads' damage all that high if you set the ramming damage realistically high. Think about it. What do we hear from the astronomers, every time an asteroid near-miss is noticed, about the power of a little bit of rock hitting the earth at 20 miles per second or more? So, spacships travelling at high speeds will also do massive damage to each other. There are two lines in SETTINGS.TXT:
Ram Ship Source Modifier Percent := 300
Ram Ship Target Modifier Percent := 300
