This sounds like a much better idea. Also I got a few more to restrict completely.
Walking Tank - Big spider drone with rockets that shoot insanely fast, not to mention the dust cloud from the explosion causes lag when 4-5 happen every second.
SIS Drone - A flying grenade launcher that shoots about as fast as the Walking Tank, only it has 3 types of grenades. Plasma isn't bad because the explosion is just a little bit of sparks, Explosive is... well... explosive. The problem is the Incendiary grenades, because they cause a large area of fire and you can imagine the lag caused from just one of these drones shooting firebombs. Let alone 3.
And in the weapons tab, restrict the use of "Upgrades/Settings" weapon to either admins, or not at all, because a lot of people set up automated drones with shields so they're practically indestructible, except via Drone Console. This is also accessible if you attempt to prop drive, except instead of driving, there's an option for Upgrades/Settings. I might consider this as Members only, for more application incentive, but I still don't like the idea of shielded drones with dual miniguns and auto aiming running around maps.
Members and up only being able to use drones period sounds good, it'll cut down on the lag immensely, and like @Pierces10 said, give incentive to apply for membership. There really is no incentive outside of being able to apply for operator/admin.
