I would like to see a few things in relation to the logic circuits of the drone...
Firstly, I would like the logic circuits NOT to be physically represented as blocks on the drone. Complex logic and interesting solutions should not be penalized by weight and design concerns, such as "how do I position this 'AND' gate so it doesn't blow up and render my whole drone useless when it first encounters the enemy". That's not fun. It feels like making the logic be a physical block is a hold over from games like Minecraft or Terraria, when automation and logic was a fun little afterthought rather than an integral part of the game.
The drone build UI should have a "programming" or "logic" UI, similar to that of the "Weapon Workshop" , with the end result being a powered 'computer core' block. The more complex the logic stored in that computer core, the heavier and or more power hungry that part would become... but it would be important for this to be a single block in the overall structure of your drone.
This idea has the following benefits...
avoids the issues caused by a single critical part of a logic circuit being destroyed, because it was inconveniently located due to arbitrary space concerns.
Introduces an interesting new part customization UI.
Adds a new level of power management to the game.
Allows players to design complex program templates, and name them modular enough to be re-used. (re-designing a navigation array from scratch with each drone is pretty tedious)
Suggestion made as of Version 0.5.10 Steam Early Access
