How do you use drones in FTL?

Is Fire Bomb good FTL?
Firebomb is, without question, the best weapon in the game, because the AI handles fire so poorly. Combined with a Rock boarding party (since they don’t burn) you can take on practically any enemy with one bomb. Because of this, the Shivan is the easiest ship in the game.
Are Pike beams good?

Is shield Overcharger good?
It takes more power than Defense I and the same amount as Defense II, and is much slower but it’s a bit more reliable and doesn’t miss. Also it blocks mind control and whatnot.

In spite of this its a fun weapon, and a good way to get the scrap and fuel benefits of killing off enemy crews without the risk of a boarding party. Synergizes very well with fire beam and/or breach bombs for killing off crew.
Does anti bio beam go through shields?

Does automated reloader affect artillery beam?
