Aren't Carriers supposed to be support vessels, rather than a Dread vs Carrier as you did with me yesterday?
Other than that, you kept me without shields and the Drone did cause considerable amount of damage.

In a tests i have done , one thing is certain, Drones are to easy to kill, they need either buff in movement/speed (if that can be done) or better defense .
I agree that drones are suck if hostile ships focus on Carrier because they see the drone coming at them. It is pretty easy to see drones because of their icon, it draws attention quickly so there is high chance of drone getting killed before it deal damage.
Currently drone does not performing well If drone going to be main thing for Carrier to deal damage, it needs to perform better.
They kinda need better defense and I think carrier drone deployment time needs to be reduced.
I can suggest some ideas to make them better;
1.Reduce reload time of the drone weapons or add drone snacs and buff alpha damage of the drones
2.Reduce deployment time
3.Give drone shields faster recharge speed and rebuild time
4.Increase mass of the drone torp/missiles to make them harder to Flak
Would you say that any of the drones are currently a good counter against cruisers? Like, not on paper but actually, as I can see drones having the potential to be the first real threat to cruisers.

I got rekt by one, but I had no CM. After crying on Discord people told me that they are easily countered by CM's on Cruisers.. but I guess if you have no CM or snubs that can CD the missles then they will destroy a cruiser
Last words are for fools who have not yet said enough.

Uhh, not really. If cruiser has CM it can easly get away from drone missiles and also drone missiles only take 1/4 of the shield if it hits. However if carrier pulse cruiser shield then drone can be threat but again drone missiles are easy to CM. Also drone missile do less damage, drone needs to hit cruiser armor like 20-25 times to kill it. Although drone pretty useful if its assisting bombers
