The no AP attack on basic drones was intented ( I created the AP claw specifically for the other troops), they are just chaff IMHO.. if the race is balanced without the soldiers being good ranged troops then I'm not changing it.. the race doesn't need to have much ranged attack.
I have no direct clue what corrosion does to be honest.. I hope it breaks down armor though
PS if you put the Soldiers in the front line shooting they will end up in melee soon enough.
