I very much like their new codex, actually. Gives them much needed flavour

Grey Knights are supposedly still underpowered though...

Dunno how, considering a small Assassin can snipe a Land Raider with one bullet.
Very, very easily (4D6 penetration dice? WTF?! that means it's a 3+ on every dice to penetrate the most heavily armoured tank in the game!).

Still, un derailing topic here, drones and robot crew for high tech ships?

Think of the big picture, not individual units. Armies which can deny their deep strike and take out their small, super-elite units before they do major damage will crush them.
Back on topic, I call for decreased crew reqs on high-tech ships, or some sort of hull mod. I don't think it's worth the effort of coding in a whole new crew type which doesn't gain xp, then somehow integrating that with ship xp gain, for such a minor feature.

Why a drone crew, why not just make an automated ship?  Not quite as smart even at high crew levels but has some advantages.  Most notably it can never actually be rendered without it's crew.  It wouldn't be a simple downgrade to their flight AI, but it might be something like the weapons are all stuck on auto-fire so it cannot use that tactically while it might use shields that way.

Or maybe everything from repairs to the food dispensers is automated, so a ship with 8 guns needs 10 crew or something. The rest functions perfectly.
