Let's make them all more interesting and tie them together with configurable drones.
Are the advanced drones really all that special? They should and can be.
First a high slot module: Drone Reconfiguration Controller (or whatever).
Then Advanced Drones made from the stuff dropped in drone regions.
Then plentiful stuff harvested from wormholes that is manufactured into swappable Drone Modules that are fairly bulky to ensure not too many are carried.
A player fits the DRC in a high slot, pops 5 Light Advanced Drones into his drone bay and 5 each Combat Modules, ECM Modules, Armor Repair Modules, etc. in his cargo hold. The drones must be recalled to the bay to be reconfigured. The modules are destroyed when removed in the bay but not if removed in a station fitting screen or corp hangar at a POS.
This creates more possibilities for drone users, wormhole explorers and drone region dwellers. It's not unbalancing as the drone user loses modules when swapped in combat.
Support / Not Support......-or-.....help improve the idea.

So you want tech 3 drones? That sounds crazy to me, but I think it actually makes it into the category of "so crazy it just might work". It can't be done as a standalone thing, but as part of a broader drone overhaul, like we've been asking for for ages...maybe. I'll support it, because this is one I'd like to see get to CCP, see if they can come up with a cool way to do it.

Hrm. Crazy. Interesting and doable, but crazy.
Let's put it this way: for the same effort we could have T3 battleships with a true "escort carrier" configuration carrying enough drone-bay space to let you hold your four flights of heavy drones.
There's also the Dominix, but that is of course restricted to Gallente skills.
I don't support the proposed change.
