Hey i have a new thoery on how drone weapons function. I came up with this during the Aurora vs system lords debate and well it might explain some things.
Ok my theory revolves around a few basic premises:
1) The drones use a ships power source not their own warhead in order to cause damage and fly.
2) The drones are organic in nature
Right here is my thoery. I have always been unable to figure out how drones cause so damage yet are quite dainty in thier natural state, and how they are able to be used in many different ways depending on the ship.
In their natural state drones are a squid like creature which has some mechanical parts to them. I think the mechanical parts are a mechanism for feeding energy in to the Organic part of the drone. We have seen organisms which absorb energy in order to increase their mass. What if the ancients discovered a creature which could store vast amounts of energy and then fused them in to a weapon. The weapon comes from the ability to store energy. When a drone is launched the system sends energy from the Power source to the drone, vast amounts of energy in some cases. the organic part works like a spouge and absorbs the energy. The Mechanics then use the "sponge" to release energy as a constant rate, propelling it through space like a chemical booster engine. Now when the drone impacts something the energy which was contained is released, when the organic part is destroyed all the energy contained is released. Now this is on simple impact mode, as is the case with the PJ's.
What happens when you have enough power is that drones get more powerful as a weapon. When you know exactly how a drone works then can manually channel vast amounts of power in to entire silo's of drones activating them all at once and essentially what TLC battle showed is that when you drain a ZPM and put all its energy in to drones, their power is able to rip through shields. When you pump enough energy in to drones, they have hardware on board that activates, using the energy stored in the organism to activate all of the most advanced systems. Now these systems could include a mini shield which when activated makes hitting another shield obsolete because you have the power to overcome other shields. Firing a drone silo like in Antarctica essentially gives every drone a fraction of a ZPM's collective power. The other thing "boosting" a drone does is allow massive formation, or swarms of drones to be used. This required extra power to switch on networked targetting sensors and engines.
My theory is that the more power you supply to the drones, the more systems on board can activate. Thoughts?
