"Launches intelligent drones armed with plasma cannons"
The Drone Launchers are the only weapons of their class for Terran, sending drones to fight opponents. Drones have a limited amount of time before they expire, so ships cannot amass them infinitely. Drones, armed with their own cannons, deal decent damage to their targets and fire in bursts, but they're also fragile and can be destroyed by enemy point-defense. These launchers do require energy from the ship to release their drones. Drone-wielding ships can send their fleets from a safe distance to hunt their enemies and besiege larger ships and stations.
