I say
+1 to Reworking all EWAR drones - balance pass and introduce more of them.

so dumb. Not really. - Fighterbombers can only go in supercarriers. - Fighters can only go in carriers and supercarriers. - Frigates can't use geckos. I'm sure there are more examples I just can't think of right now. Eve is absolutely chock full of modules that are high ship specific, being restricted to anything from several classes to just one class to just one specific ship. It's no big stretch to create a BC only drone.
Different mechanism at work. The examples you listed are all a result of drone bay/bandwidth limitations. The OP is proposing a drone that specifically is limited to battlecruisers only, even though larger ships would otherwise have the capacity to use them.
Also, another -1 to warp disruption drones. Other forms of EWar works relatively well with drones because you can scale them up or down, and typically a flight of EWar drones is not as effective as modules mounted on a ship, especially not on a bonused hull. With what the OP is proposing, a flight of warp disruption drones would be as effective, or more effective, than modules on the ship. The only way to do this and maintain parity with other EWar drones would be for warp disruption drones to have fractions of a point, so that you'd need more than one to successfully tackle. That seems like a rather arbitrary and confusing change to make, which is why I can't support this.

Energy vampire drones equipped with tiny energy transfer units so they can send the capacitor to their controller!
Pirate ship Nightmare, can you fathom
Larger but with smaller spikes than Phantasm
The Succubus looks meaner
But the Revenant cleaner
Seems as they get bigger, the smaller spikes they has'm

Also going to have -1 this idea.
If the drone is supposed to be an "anti-kiter" thing then it needs to fly, minimum, 2000 m/sec. Otherwise kiting ships will just laugh at it and keep doing what they do.
However, by making such a drone that fast you basically obsolete the role of "Hero Tackler"... which is a role traditionally held by newbies and inexperienced PvPers.
Also, if anything... this drone will be used more against slow, clumsy ships. Which is ironic because the OP came up with the idea to help slow, clumsy ships.
How did you Veterans start?
