Drones Are Useless

* No maintenance cost (this is a huge advantage).
* No partial damage effects.
* Ability to be stored in cargo.
* No good way to detect them when stored in cargo inside scanner jamming.
* Immunity to allegiance subverters and computer virus and boarding and insurrection and some other things.
* Ability to draw point-defense fire and resist it with ECM/defense bonus/shields etc.
* Losing them does not reduce population happiness.
* Movement bonus.

I never used drones but these points do seem to be good reasons to use drones. i'll give them a try. Do you use them to guard warppoints or do you just take them out to battles?
