OK the first one is a bit of a rambler: Building and using Bits and Funnels or other remote attack drones.

In Spaceships the building looks simple enough, just call it one of these (Although SS doesn't offer hulls small enough) but in Mecha it's a bit harder, there's be no cockpit and I'd use the advice on VE55 on Sonobouys and Other Remote Sensors and give the computer Datalink, but what else? (I get how to add weapons, but the controls are the question)

The follow is is rules for controlling these sorts of drones, how do those work? What penalties do I take for controlling multiple craft?

The second question is simpler: If using Mecha what sort of DR should I take as a base mark for ships that carry mecha? The reason I ask is that anti-shipping weapons should be something mecha can carry.
