If a ship equipped with a cloak launches their drones and then cloaks, can the drones attack things while the ship remains cloaked?

Assume you order your drones away from you before cloaking so they don't de-cloak you by proximity.

Hi,
did not test it but if i remember right you will lose control over them and you have to "connect to lost drones" after decloaking.

Correct, you will not have any connection to your drones if you cloak with them out.

Will they continue doing whatever their last command was if their connection is lost? Or will they just stop and idle in space until you re-connect?

they go inert if you leave grid/cloak

I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.
