This proposal will have zero impact on botting. Please, don’t be a Brewlar when it comes to conjuring up anti-botting fantasies that have no basis in reality.
This proposal will also change drones into… not drones. If you have issues with drone balancing/counters/etc that’s a different thread that should be discussed in isolation from botting… but honestly? Drones are rather underpowered (at least relative to their defenses), not overpowered at the moment. It is insanely easy to counter drones even in HS where you don’t have the luxury of using and abusing smartbombs and bombs. At worst, drone users get to maintain their throughput alongside turret and missile users, whose weapons can’t be ‘disabled’ like droneboats can (save for draining cap of hybrids or lasers, but that still leaves projectiles and missiles, or in the extremely unlikely event you run out of ammo mid-battle, which won’t affect lasers), so all they’re doing is achieving parity moreso than supremacy (it’s not as if drones don’t have their own disadvantages even if they aren’t defanged).
