New Tech, Old Drones
The "New Tech, Old Drones" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
New Tech, Old Drones

By means of upgraded technology, we have been able to repair some of our older drones, restoring decommissioned units to full functionality. We are now ready to initiate large-scale repair operations. While we could focus on units from the collective, we have a larger supply of inactive Shroud-Forged shells. Repairing the Shroud-Forged will yield greater output, but they will be more difficult to control than drones connected to the core intelligence.
