How about giving each race a t1 and t2 E-WAR drone boat for both frigates and cruisers?

Yes, perhaps the breakdown was rather in-elegant, and shoe horning these drones onto these cruiser combat platforms in a piecemeal fashion would just keep them gimped for any other ship to use them.

Ultimately I do agree that these drones do need to be buffed (preferable through Small Size + Large bandwidth) and I can see that there could be some symmetry between certain hulls raising their power, but it is difficult to choose a practical route for this.

What maybe could be done is, instead of certain ships buffing the strength of their abilities, instead have them buff the drone’s survivability and utility through speed, signature, HP, and/or orbit velocity etc. These abilities would be generic enough that they could be applied to all non-combat drones, especially since tracking speed does not come into play with E-war, Cap transfer, or Shield/Armor boosting. With this, together with a general buff to the drone abilities, I think there could be a decent place in the game for them.
