I didn't see anything like this in suggestions with a quick glance through, so..
I was thinking about the fact that occasionally I end up with a VERY slow turning ship while out collecting salvage. Sometimes to the point that it's quicker to move weapons to the side I'm shooting from.
So, I was thinking of a deck sized module that contains a small drone (basically a friendly AI command module) with a single weapon and an engine. (that you provide) It won't launch until you put a weapon and engine on it. That way you can keep it in its bay until you want it in use.
Drones could be resupplied via a factory or by replacing the drone module entirely.
Also, as you get higher rank module types they could potentially carry more drones.
I believe they wouldn't be overpowering since they would be fairly easy to kill being that the command module would be exposed on either side.
