With new expeditions to W-space and the lethality of the Sleepers vs drones it would be very useful if there was a way to replace drones from cargoholds.
It should be a non combat operation. Something like deploying a POS structure maybe.
Select drone from cargo hold, select deploy to space, packed drone icon appears in space. You have options to unpack or scoop to hold. If you select unpack the drone open up like a structure, you get a countdown timer (5 minutes) till when you can scoop to drone bay. Allow 1 drone to be unpacking per level of drone interfacing skill.

something like this would be usefull, dunno if it should be unpacking or what, but this way you would not be able to do it in the middle of the fight (as it should be) and it would take a while, but in long expeditions it would work well.

I don't even think it needs to be a whole multistep process. Just make it take about 10sec like loading more ammo.
Read EVE Chronicles: The Vampire and notice how the drone was laying in his hold, and with a few buttons it was out in space. It didn't take an act of Congress, it didn't take an Orca's maint bay... and yet CCP keeps writing all these wonderful stories and yet boning the players with game mechanics. --- Life altering changes, to combat the acts of a extreme minority... means you're letting the terrorists win.

Maybe as an extra role for logistic ships? Or especially for drone boats. So all ships could reconfigure their dronebay at a droneboat / logistic ship. _________________________________

Might it not be possible to launch the drones from the cargo hold in an abandoned state, then scoop them to your drone bay? After which you can then launch as normal. This has the effect of being limited by the jettison timer. You also run the risk of losing the drones to someone else who was faster.

I think your idea is best. I was thinking along the same lines. Not overly punishing to the person doing it, but still involves some risk.
