nobody really builds these often enough for them to be common, and getting the ones from the derelict to the station is a pain in the ass since you'll probably just get killed in 0.9 seconds anyways. Them being able to escape while the dude holding them is moving is fucking fantastic though holy shit, it was so annoying for people to pick you up and space you while you could do nothing.

As common drone player (it's actually super easy to get the one from below gravgen/above medbay to the station with a satchel and if you're lucky a box full of tools) giving me time before some shitheel picks me up and wears me as a hat for 12 minutes because HAHAHA WHAT A FUNNY JOKE is the best change anyone has ever made to anything I'm pretty sure.

Someone doing RD? Go to robo and print 200 drone shells.
No RD? Go to cryo, get both boards, deconstruct them, print 3 crybords, deconstruct one, rebuild cryo, print 200 drone shells.

The problem is, most people can't be bothered even if there are tons of materials for drone shells. There are so many times that Robotics will be pumping out Durands en masse without making a single drone shell.

Drones can use exosuit frabricators...

How can a drone use the exofabber if there are no drone shells to make the initial drone though? Plus, most are too busy fucking around or spamming the gavel like me to make more.

Ah, sorry i misunderstood you. There isnt an easy way to combat that problem, because before you place drone shells on the station proper, you would have to fix the ability to early join as drone...

>not just using the derelict teleporter

you can be on station almost before the round even begins if you're quick enough.

I know, but this added buffer prohibits you from starting the sing before the round even begins.
