What good are drones? [EOM]

[PvK]

I have an opponent in a competitive game who is using drones almost exclusively. It's been an interesting game. The strategy can actually work pretty well, but requires learning some things rather than trying to use them naively. They are especially good as something to stockpile during peacetime, since they have no maintenance cost and they are much more powerful when usen en masse.

In games and techniques where resources are important, the zero maintenance advantage can be very important.
