So for exampled, a freighter can precharge 12 drones. Once you deploy your first set of 6 as an engineer, you can start charging 6 more drones. Please add in a feature to be able to queue up more drones to start charging when you deploy drones. So i'd equip 12 drones and then somehow select 6 more drones that upon deploying the first 6 would start charging. It doesn't change anything in terms of potential for a droner, but it does make the whole process much less of a hassle.

Essentially, no equip limit, but a max of 12 drones at a time can hold a charge? I like that. 12 drones is pretty limiting for an engineer that likes to do multi-purpose things. And spam clicking your hotkeys to equip drones while others are out is a hassle and hard to keep track of.

It's already set up so that precharged items can become "uncharged": I noticed that a super special secondary went from "2 seconds remaining" to "45 seconds remaining" after I equipped AND unequipped a shield charger that made my elec negative.

Not directly related but it goes to show that there's certainly room to mess around with how precharging works.
