Overseer Drone

Overseer drones are a unique type of drone that supports tier 1, 2, and 3 drones of the same faction. Overseer drones regenerate the hulls of ally drones in battle, adding an additional element of difficulty to drone combat. Overseer drones can be found in any sector except infected sectors, supporting either W.D., CU, or Bandit drones, and they typically spawn with two or more fighting drones to support.

Battle Strategy
On their own, overseer drones pose virtually no threat to a player ship, as they are extremely weak and easy to destroy, while lacking much combat capability. However, overseer drones will never naturally be on their own, and they obviously don't serve as fighters, but rather as healers. Overseer drones heal large chunks of an ally drone's hull at a time, and can bring a drone's hull back to full health in a couple of seconds in the middle of combat, so it is wise to destroy overseer drones before taking on other drones in the sector.

It doesn't take a lot of firepower to destroy an overseer drone; it is easy to do even with a few bursts of a ship turret such as the Focused Laser Turret. Overseer drones greatly lack hull strength and armor, but they do appear to travel faster than fellow drones and move more defensively, which can make aiming difficult. Regardless, all that needs to be done is to simply land a few shots in quick succession, before shields start regenerating. Be sure not to lose focus of other drones in the sector as to not allow them to overwhelm you while you target the overseer.
