Holy cow, that's a lot of drones.
Nice one! This is one of my favourite finds on Storage. Wait until you find something else that gets mothballed :D
I took two of those with me. One I used right away to try and find the damn exit, the other I saved for later, and even after I spent the drones I held onto it so I could scanalyze and fabricate (which I got to do once!). My first time using drones. Also the first game I got to use a guided weapon (an EMP grenade launcher of some sort).
Ended up with a high score of 8240, having died on -4. I'd been having a big problem finding terminals (of any kind!) for four or five floors, so I was pretty well murdered almost as soon as I entered a floor (-4 lasted 318 turns). -7 I managed to luck out on and find an exit quick (-5 went on for 1315 total turns and I found almost nothing of value).

I usually open all of the Drone Bays up and send them everywhere. it's not a particularly tactical strategy but I find managing them a hassle even though it can be very useful. I once found a drone bay upon immediately escaping the chute trap and they were able to go everywhere without getting any agro. I just hid in a corner and explored until I found everything I needed.
I haven't had much experience with the guided weapons (not even sure if I've ever picked one up).

I often struggle to find terminals in the mid and late-game. Usually one of my first hacks is to find the location of more of them (if I can even find one in the first place!).
Not sure I found and Terminals at all, or if I did, the security so tight the available options were 25% or lower, so an Index(Terminals) was out of the question.

Bummer :( The Terminals are indeed tough to find and hack later in the game.
