Currently there is a bug where you CANNOT re spawn the two drones in the missile bay when both are destroyed. The only way to re spawn is when your ship is killed and you re spawn.
Make sure you check in-game on the current version that your bug still exists. Just sayin.
will be fixed
No bugreport-number skula?
They said they fixed some thing regarding drones in latest update but maybe it failed

Thanks. It seems like they’ve been fixed! ”)
Also, as a suggestion. Can you add another number to the module display, indicating how many drones are active at the moment? Sometimes my drones are off in the middle of nowhere chasing somebody and I have no clue if they’re even alive or not.
