Summary0024080: Outguard Prufrock's Partisans not spawning Decoy Drones
DescriptionI have had the misfortune of hacking an outguard beacon that had the Prufrock's Partisans. This outguard is supposed to spawn decoy drones to serve as distractions. When I summon them, neither the flagship nor the carriers spawn decoy drones.

I think some of the other outguard units have issues when attempting to spawn units. I have attached a save file and a screenshot showing the issue.
TagsNo tags attached.

Due to the Drone changes. These do not have the SpecialEntityType of Drone anymore, and this Group was missed, so they won't build them.

Giving them the drone gun causes an error due to the Drones not knowing which Group they're in. Giving said Drones the tag of the group (the same thing the Automated Construction Swarm does for the Mini versions which spawn on death) so they know which group they are to be in fixes that, but then this occurs the first time after loading the save a Drone is fired:
