Deployment cost
To combat the Borg cubes and over-fitted drones, every component in a drone should have a 3rd cost: deployment cost. In a match, every time you spawn (including when login in a match) this deloyment cost would be tallied. At the end of the match, it would affect negatively your total score (something like Total Score/(Deployment Cost*Times Spawned) could work). That way, players are encouraged to get better so they can keep up their performance while building the most bare-bones drone they can.
This has even been speculated to be the 3rd, yellow numbers in the DRONE editor, but it's hjasn't been confirmed.
Interesting idea, but I'm not sure how well this would work in practice...
It's already hard enough to get points with tanks in a lot of games, and this would make playing a tank within your team would greatly negatively affect your XP gain, which is something most players will care about.
