How do I deal with hacking drones?
When a hacking drone has latched on to my ship, is there any way of removing it? What about disabling it?
Best Answer
There is a way to (temporarily) disable hacking drones without destroying their ship or wrecking their hacking room.
An odd defensive option you have in the event of hacking drones is hacking their hacking room. When activated, this will prevent (or interrupt) their hacking process. I personally don't do this very often as I find hacking shields/weapons to be more effective, but in rare circumstances it could be handy, such as when they've hacked an area of your ship that blocks movement to critical sections (bottleneck.)

How do drones get hacked?
A drone can be hacked by intercepting the signal between the drone itself and the person controlling it. This would be impossible if the signal is encrypted, but many drones use unencrypted communication. This allows a hacker to use a packet sniffer to determine how communication is occurring.How can we prevent drones?
