How to use in your fleet
These drones can only be built by a Neinzul Enclave Starship. The motivation behind these very temporary assets is to give an offensive boost to researching turret technologies. While it may be tempting to switch the drone production on and leave them on, a key to using drones efficiency is to produce them both when and where necessary.
While it is unlikely that these ships will win the battle on your behalf, swarming an AI's target list is often effective at buying time for your primary forces. In this task, drones are even better than standard Neinzul fleets. On the downside, their build queue is shared with normal fleet-ships, so there will be some micro-intense juggling for those who want to use Enclaves as mobile Space Docks as well. Until one can directly power-down Enclaves in the same selection as their drones, it may be a good idea to just dedicate a pair of Enclave-IIs (or a mercenary) to produce the lower mark-versions of the drones and keep Enclave-IIIs for fleet reinforcement.
Notes: On normal caps/high performance profiles, an Enclave-I will make a cap of drone-Is in ~9 seconds - which means you'll can almost self-sustain a population with just one enclave. An Enclave-II will make four caps of drones (I or II) in ~21 seconds, due to their faster build speed and lower drone cap. It is therefore possible to fully utilise the several I+II drones by using the mercenary enclave rather than unlock Enclave-II.
