Well, first the ships need to have drone launchers. If they do and they're not launching at all, then I think it's a bug. If the problem is just that they're not launching enough of them at once, you need to increase the "Drones per target" setting in the launching tab of the strategy the ships use.

Remember in the new patch they fixed something and now "anti-planet drones" will not be launched so if so change that.

Drones serve a purpose for some players. Not all players, but some. They can be build quckly, are very powerful, and are deadly. Never underestimate a drone.

The only thing that makes drones worthless are PDC's. One Weapon Platform with a single PDC can protect your planet from a swarm of Drones.

I like drones. Give them good engines, a lvl 3 warhead and armor and they surely overcome planetary defenses. Add stuff to increase defense and laugh at your pitiful enemy
