who not prevent carriers from abandoning drones that aren't scrammed/webbed?
or - you know - prevent them from abandoning at all?

Nice of you to demonstrate your wild incompetence and unfamiliarity with this game. Drones, not just "centries" screw up- quite a lot- and abandoning is one way of working around some of that. "Centries" are stationary, most fleets are not. Making them unabandonable makes them pretty ******* useless when they're already a damage type that can just be bombed right off the field.

Fix drone lags, please.
It's unnormal to spend 8 hours and more for battle which can take about 1 hour when it's NO lags.

Fix drone assist by introducing new skill for it - e.g. level 0 allows to control 5 assisted drones and +5 drones for each skill level. Cause ofc absolutely focused, independent on Internet speed alpha-shooting from few dozens (or more) pilots can be done only by using drone assist from the whole fleet to 1 targeter. Or allow to assist guns/launchers from the whole fleet also to 1 targeter - for those pilots, who do not use sentry cars/domies/ishtars.

Multiple "scoop-deploy drones" operations use big hole in game mechanics and perfectly allow to crash node at all or at least receive awful non-playable TiDi in system when number of drones that are deployed and immediately scooped back is big enough. Light and medium drones can be killed by few bombers, but sentries are much thicker. So maybe some help with this situation would bring delay for scooping sentries let's say ~2mins (TiDi *must* be taken into account) from deploying.

In general drones are broken, it's true - those, who do not trust it, can try to fly in a system with 1000-2000 abandoned drones and enjoy very significant TiDi even when local would be much less 100.

Imho drones need a complete overhaul. They look bad (shooting animation), they act dump and managing them with the ui is a pain.
