Park a transport or base in orbit and store them there. If you see an attack coming, transfer them or have the transport run away. This procedure has two important disadvantages:
1.) As you said "if you see an attack coming". If the attack comes as a surprise you are lost. And if you transfer your drones to the cargo of the planet your enemy still can trigger the complete and useless launch by a minor attack with a sigle small ship or a drone.
2.) The cargo ship or base will cost maintenance therefore reducing the most important advantage of units in general: their lack of maintenance.
