Drones with module slots, and they rely on your skill training to use their modules. How nice would that be? Killing them could drop loot and salvageable materials.

Didn't I see this idea elsewhere? Something along the lines of "T3 drones". It wasn't very popular.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Twice in the last week or so IIRC. The answer is still no, it's lots of complication for little to no gameplay gain.

Bah, you're right, it is a mess. Maybe a few expansions later.

Why would it be any less of a mess "a few expansions later"?

Just cover all of the current EWAR mechanics in drone options. Make their bandwidth match up fairly to the EWAR type, so scram drones would take up twice the bandwidth of a normal drone. whatever is deemed fair after play testing.

It wouldn't, I'll just have forgotten by then that I already proposed this and try again.

Well, atleast you're honest about it.
