Well, After rank 150 or so, the supply of common Drannik drones drys up.

I do not like this (Hey, I'm Drannik - I want to kill the &^%#@ Machines that wiped me out) so I'd like to propose that the existing common Drannik ships are upgraded to matched type, with the matching base on their rank (Drannik gun pods having the lowest stats for any given ranks, and Drannik Replicators having the best stats for any given rank.

More of my 2 pence.

you can kill drannik pulse ballistae (assuming you can find them ) at higher ranks

just my 2 cents(I have no idea how much a pence is worth..I looked it up like a week ago but it gave me the old system or something and that was ridiculously complicated)

But I want somthing common, I hate the Drannik Automations, after all, they killed me.

Drannik Replicators. They'll do you for a while.

I want a common TO NPC. The gaining some notoriety medal was hard to get, just got REALLY lucky with a Troop Carrier.

-1, introducing more common matched npc's just dilutes the better npc pool more and more, and makes finding the rare elite npc's harder

Depends how it works, could be that each slot has a 80% chance to yield a Common in which case the number of common models wouldn't matter.

Anything that dilutes the number of Firehawks is a win in my book. I don't mind them or the Assassins, really, but it gets dreadfully dull killing the same 5 ships over and over again. One of the reasons I haven't completed the Sentinox mission is I like having the drones on my battle tab to amuse me.

if the dranniks do more then just die i would be game for them being added and at higher lvls drannik pulse ballistae go away as well.
