I just don't think that is a realistic perspective. Every list has it's "dogs" and I don't think the focus of testing should be in trying to arrive at some list utopia.

So although this issue may trouble some, I am not overly concerned about it as it relates to the overall list balance. At this point, drones do not unbalance the list and for the next cut, I am Ok with that.
I agree that sometimes a low-performer is okay, especially if it has a niche or two. It's definitely preferable to have an underperforming unit or formation than a no-brainer or "must have" formation.
That said, it is still better if it can be brought up to snuff with the rest of the list for internal balance. Even if it's a low priority, I think gun drones deserve a little bit of attention once more pressing matters are mostly worked out.
