How about more drones (1 per drone bay?), but only 1 can be active at the time?
Allowing you to choose proper drone type for the situation, or deploy reinforcements after 1st drone was destroyed?

You'll be able to choose a loadout of the drone depending on your need.

For instance "/deploy Light Bomber Type-1" deploys an anti-shield bomber with incaps and ASURAS. Type-2 would be SNAC and marauder, Type-3 would be Novas and a stronger SNAC. This isn't how it's exactly gonna be, but it gives you an overview.

A: Just one, currently. While Titan and I have tested the plugin in various cases, we are unsure about the server load this plugin may have when there are multiple drones in space. We have had very good luck with low loads with one or two, but we don't know how it'll fare with more. If the developers want me to support more later, sure. But for now, it's limited to one.

Maybe, like i said drone types can change, balance devs did not talk about it yet that is how i planned and it is not up to me.

There is FAQ in the first post

I know you currently want just 1 ACTIVE drone per carrier. Im talking about how many drones you can have on board the carrier, ready to be launched, something like ammo for missiles. What if my ACTIVE drone is destroyed, can I launch another one? Or does it use cooldown?

I was told that ammo shouldn't matter. That once a drone is destroyed, it should simply be queued up to be launched again. So theoretically, a carrier can launch unlimited drones. Just one can be out at a time. It was mentioned that perhaps every launch should consume ammo, or withdraw some credits, although ultimately those ideas were scrapped. This being something I could add in later if people deem it necissary. But right now, they're free.

Yes, there are different types of drones that a single carrier can launch.

(The text may be hard to read, but it says "Target is a drone owned by User" - User is the shipname for the one who deployed the drone)
