Well, thats some devblog. Lots of changes, some nice and some not so nice. 5 drones maximum feels a bit silly, I mean a drone carrier that can use just 5 drones ? At least keep the drone bay sizes as they are so one can choose between several different types of drones for different situations. The drone carriers will at least be more flexible that way, able to choose between EW, tanking or damage.

We are really getting 28 new drone types ? 28 ?!
I imagine these are tech 1 too ?

With all that complexity, reducing the size of dronebays makes no sense. With 12+12 different combat drones already in existence and 28 new drones that means 52 drone types to choose from. With no way to load drones in space except having a mate send out drones and warp off so you can scoop them, a large dronebay is needed to maintain any kind of tactical flexibility.
