I was always wondering why do you need racial drone specialization skill for all T2 drones except sentries. What's so special about them? Currently sentries are very popular and after training just one x5 skill to 5 you can use any T2 racial sentry with equal efficiency.

Proposition:
- make racial drone skill @ level 4 required for T2 sentries
- apply damage bonus from racial drone skill and decrease base damage to compensate

This will make drone skills consistent through all non-fighter drone types as it should be.

Since heavies hit harder than sentries, just applying the racial skills to them and making them a prereq to T2 would probably be fine.

Also, make them recallable from inside drone range.
