Rather than remove the possibility of having plague bombs on drones, I'd rather some kind of defensive counter-measure was made: Some kind of weapons platform mount or counter-drone or something that would give a planet a good chance of repelling the attack.

Oh and troops/ boarding parties on drones would also be cool, but they should have limited range (using supplies maybe?). Imagine having a drone-launcher baseship sitting out of the planet's range spewing waves and waves of troop-drop-drones.

Another cool thing (that we'll never see implemented=-) would be if you could use (cloaked?) drones to deposit intel operatives on enemy planets...
