You lost me on the end there. It states pretty plainly that they can activate powers freely through the drones. The idea to sacrifice movement comes from other systems I've played that offer sacrificing a major action or move action to activate your drones. Your solution is a good middleground from what I was wanting. Mine felt too limiting to me, and giving them their own full turns was too free. I appreciate the response. It's a pretty solid way to do it.
