I was thinking about how PVE game modes will likely need some form of unique loot I then realized this:
Every drone you kill there could be a 25% chance of receiving that drone as loot .
You can buy 3 different designators from the store: Heavy designator, Medium designator, and Light designator.
The varying designators would go into the weapon slots and call in a single drones from your inventory of that type. Another drone can be called in once the current is recalled/destroyed. All designator would have a command menu with L1 and R1 activates the command. The designator also costs high cpu/pg in order to control these formerly rogue drones.
Heavy Designator:
Heavy Weapon Slot
Calls in heavy drones
Menu offers attack (specific target), patrol (attack various targets in a area), proximity (defends owner and is default), and defend (defend set point) commands
Medium Designator:
Light Weapon slot
Calls in medium drones
Menu offers attack (specific target), patrol (attack various targets in a area), proximity (defends owner and is default), and defend (defend set point) commands
Light Designator
Light Weapon slot
Calls in light drones
Menu offers attack (attack specific target), hack (hack specific target but no WP gains from drone), triage (heal target), and proximity (defends owner)
All suits would only be able to have 1 drone active while being at a disadvantage in combat besides the commando which could have 2 drones or a drone and a light weapon. As you would guess each drone serves a purpose with the heavy drone being best for combat, medium drone is a weaker equivalent, and the light drone mainly offers support with low combat ability.

As some would guess you could easily make some interesting combinations like having a drone hack while you defend, becoming a super logi, allowing logis to more easily defend themselves, area control without investing players (homebases), and hacking distant unguarded objectives to gain a advantage.

But in all seriousness, it sounds like fun... But to keep it fair, when a drone is killed, it should have a chance of landing on the guy who called it down and blowing them up.
The entire time the drone is up the guy who called it is stuck with his secondary, also I was originally thinking drones could ignore the redline with the attack command.

As to getting the drones as loot. Why would you want a bunch of drones that are so shot up they are nothing better than scrap metal?
A army of logibros went through the wreckage healing them, but yeah it doesn't take much to heal a merc that was shot 500 times, hit with a plasma explosion, cut, and hit by multiple explosive devices
