That was actually the original plan back then but I never went back to work on the drone,
Main reason I'm asking about it is cauae, I wants to know if it be acceptable to add the drone even though the player can't control it (Means that it could focus on other enemies than its "master's" main target)?
The drone won't attack if you set the unit to hold fire ofc,
But the only main flaw here is that it can attack some other units than the one you tells the main unit to currently attack,
I think Generals drones acted the same way based on the code I've seen but don't remember how it actually was in the game by now.
For these who aren't familiar with the unit:

seems an interesting ideea and at least the engineer can have a mean to defend itself. and if you originally wanted to implement it anyway that means you should give it a go. no harm in that, right?
Just the fact that the drone won't always targets what you wants,
For now it can also targets ground units unlike the Cybernetic Enginner himself, so that leaves a lot of opportunities for it to attack something else than its "master".
just dont make the attack very powerfull because if for example i want to capture an enemy tiberium spike, i dont want when i approach it for my drone to destroy it instead.
you could put the drone as an ability of the engineer where i can activate it or deactivate it so the drone wont do damage unintended. or the drone can selfdestruct after some time and then activate again the ability to have a new dron to defend yourself. whichever is easier to implement, give it a try.
Oh the Cybernetic engi actually don't acts as the Saboteur,
It's a flying cryborg that can repair aircraft.
Only two reasons I've gave him that name was cause it fixes stuff and as a nod to how the model was orginally supposed to be the C&C4;'s Nod engineer before they've replaced it,
Sorry if I mislead you.

aaaa.....ok. still my opinion is pretty much the same, its not a very big decision, and wont alter drastically the gameplay, just hear what others might also say in the poll.
