They're well outside of our common usage, the era of the modpack, the theme of the server, and wouldn't add much to our style of gameplay - I think it's rather unlikely that this will be added!

And bloating our mod repo with trivia mods isn't appealing for new players who have to download all the gigabytes of mods they won't use.
We used to have this kind of bloating problem (full of "cool gadget mods") and slow upload speed from six network caused a shortage of players @ pub. If I recall correctly our modset was around 80gb that time. After the decision to chop it down bare essential our public server has been more than functional than ever, till this day.

If you still think this is a must have mod, try to reason what it does add to these players who wont use it. Drones are already a niche thing you know.

Nothing personal, just expressing my point of view.

The most annoyng thing about ARMA franchise isin't the bugs; The the worst thing is: You don't have better option.

It is up to the mission creators what equipment/assets are part of a mission. If they don't add certain assets, it is usually because they think that they would not work in the mission they made.

The drones are part of the Laws of War DLC, meaning that if we include them, not everyone will be able to make use of them. We try to avoid situations like this. It was one of the historic reasons behind us not having a mission set on Tanoa, as it would have made the Public servers dependent on players having Apex. This isn't an issue now as BIS went on to release the assets, but at the time it would have restricted potential players.

It does. If you don't have the DLC, you can't use the drones. They can appear in the mission, but you get a message stating that you need to purchase the DLC to use them.
