I just found out my Seeker and Support drones on my Federation captain has turned into exocomps is it supposed to be like that or did they get bugged by doing TFO Operation Wolf?

Well I can honestly say I'd PREFER my old Seeker &/or Support Drones back!
While I think the larger Exocomps are neat and interesting for sure. I mostly don't like their larger size, sure they are more scaled to what they showed in TNG, yet that was also 2364 not 2410 now more than 50 years later. And like all things Tech, new often means smaller not larger. I mean I like the way they look, if only they reduced their size by 35% I'd likely greatly WARM UP to them and LOVE them!
Still having said that, I still greatly prefer my old Seeker & Support Drones to remains as they were. Now I suspect I'll just have to STOP using them all together, and find other KITS to replace them or not use them at all.
It was the same feedback I provided about the Crystal Prism used in space, they should have scaled them down by 35-50% at least; they shouldn't be as large as a Star Ship if you're beaming them into space.
Sorry Thumbs Down for me! Trying to be constructive, and I like several (many) other things they've done or are at least working on! There just too big to appreciate, or even want to use.

Yes what the heck have they done lol. My disposable weapons platform is now an exocomp. It doesn't feel right on a variety of levels.
Just big clunky visual clutter for the sake of it and one more thing to catch the massively oversized reticle on console once the change arrives there.

I however still saw normal seeker drones, but I don't know exactly what those are, but likely those from bonuses allowing you to gain additional ones to the main drone.
In terms of drones and exocomps being distinct things. I 100% agree, but I can make it work in my head by saying that they just look the same, even though they aren't.
Your mileage may vary on this though!

i would like the old models back.
The main reason is that the new drone is bigger but also likes to hover right in front of the camera behind the character, meaning it gets really hard to see things. I have to move the camera to a more downward angle or shift it to one side to see things and that is annoying.
I never used those drones much on my engineers, but now I'll probably use them even less. I preferred the old look.
I really prefer the OLD as well, and I mean if they are going to offer full Exocomps then offer them as new Kit's. Yet had wished they left the old ones just as they were...
Yet Dev's don't alway's take well to feedback, unless it's positive so don't expect a change.
*sigh*
They could even have different colored ones with unique appearances with some versions being made larger yet to better show off their unique styles - jumbo candy striped Exocomp with Targ fur trim and celestial glitter.
Specialty Exocomps could have a unique dialogue that repeats several witty phrases over and over.
Having them show up for a mission and TFO...no, but what do you call turning our drones into Exocomps as well as?
The Exocomps are nice in the mission and TFO but replacing other drones with Exocomps is going way to far. The old models are way better as well. This is another change to make QoL worse. Stick a worse model in that blocks the camera and make it so we cannot tell all the drones apart from each other which is essential on a drone build. I really hope this is a bug that gets fixed fast and not another bad design move.
