Simple idea really, we already have Heavy Sentry Drones so why not expand it out to Light and Medium Sentry Drones as well.

Why? What exactly would light/med sentries do for the game?

I do admit this is one I haven't really thought too much about, not sure if it will add anything much to the game except for some more variety to a players setup. They would be faster at tracking so would stand a better chance of hitting the small stuff close up compared to the heavy sentries. Mneh, I need to think this one through more.

The biggest thing is that the main advantage Sentries have over heavies, lack of travel time and ability to hit smaller targets if the traversal is low, isn't really an issue for light/med drones.
