Quick things to know:
Drones do not level up like the living crew. What you see is what you get with them
Drones are made to be dispensable. That said, a lot of them are fire resistant, making them great choice for cleaning up fuel nukes and such. Your living crew can and will take damage from fire a lot faster than drones.
You can never have too many drones.

DYI has less HP, slower, and not as good at gunnery. Good to use in the beginning when you have poor skilled crew or when your good gunner dies in a battle.
Research Drone
Sensor Drone
DIY Tank Drone
Slow and steady. Has a decent weapon and range. A lot of Health to survive most encounters.
Fire Suppression Drone
Comes in two flavors:
Slow, robust drone
Fast, lower health drone
Repair Drone
DIY Repair – gets the job done. Nothing to look at
Industrial Repair Drone – Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger. Not only does it have 3 points in repair, but also 2 points in security and with 24 points of health makes for a great defender against invaders.
Security Drone
DIY Guard Drone – Average health. Good range weapon albeit the reload is little slow.
Light Security Drone – Lowest health. Good weapon. Good speed.
Tactical Security Drone – Almost identical to the Light Security Drone
Heavy Sentinel Drone – AKA Terminator – Highest health, speed, skill, and weapon range. Guaranteed carnage.
Last Word
If you see a drone that has different stats or weapon or is not mentioned here, please let me know as I’m still updating this guide as I play the game.
