I went shortly after Odyssey dropped and noticed a number of artifacts floating in the air, and collision issues with SRV catapulting. I assume these issues have been fixed?
Always brought ships with 2 pds equipped so missiles never were a significant issue.
The whole relog mechanic to get engineering parts and blueprints was annoying AF so I'm sure that is still a part of the experience.
Oh you want to unlock the medium plasma accelerator, that's a weapon schematic. Now you can by as many of that specific size as you want.
Oh you want to unlock a single copy of the ultra mega plasma accelerator, that's one weapon schematic per weapon. What a clever skill-based requirement - am I right? No it is not. Clearly not something that makes logical sense, it's just another lame donkey time gate. Maybe they realized how awful the design was, and nerfed the drones.
So, in response to the OP, if FDEV vastly reduces the material requirements of the weapon and module unlocks, then I would support buffing the drones. If they want to keep the relog time sink, I say leave the little fireflies as they are in their nerfed state.
