Drones

Drones: Drones come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit their various missions. Many drones are like missiles in that they are disposable and not likely to return to their mothership.
Mount Trait: Each mount scale adds 1 “rack” of drones.

Decoys: Decoy drones exist for the purpose of drawing fire that would otherwise come after their mother ship. They can also serve to make your enemy think there’s more of you than there really are or that your ship is a different class/type of vessel than it really is.
