If a drone has a weaponry fitting it can be equiped with a small arm. As it stands now, we can equip ship weapons onto drones which... while entertaining, isn't the intent.
Solution?
I think the solution is to hide the defense category on drones, and somehow change the filters being passed to the weapons stuff to just pull up a list of small arms items.
We don't need to do validation that there are enough weapon fittings to fit the chosen number of weapons, but that may be neat too. Bonus points, have it hide the weapons section if there are no such fittings.
Mitigations
Because the "+" lets us load a freeform fitting, we can actually just stat out whatever weapon we want it to have. So this isn't a huge deal.
