In the Proximity Caves, the occasional N-01 Spotter can drop parts when destroyed.
Given that all other drones i can remember don't drop parts, and that Target Drones received a bugfix because they could drop parts, i assume this is a bug?

Here's a relevant excerpt from my current run's log :
31799_ Sneak attack on N-01 Spotter.
31799_ Destroyed Lgt. Ion Engine.
31799_ N-01 Spotter destroyed.                                  // N-01 Spotter destroyed
31801_ Acquired 11 matter.
31811_ Hover Unit fries itself beyond repair.                   // N-01 Spotter part fries
31817_ Adv. Visual Processing Unit fries itself beyond repair.  // N-01 Spotter part fries

I'd seen it before, but it's only this time that i realized this was probably a bug.

Yeah they're drone class but technically behave as normal robots and their parts can drop normally. Part of the problem with the Target Drones specifically earlier on was that they are infinite, allowing you to theoretically farm them for infinite parts. Not dropping parts is not really a property of drones, it's a property of specifically fabricated robots, which includes most drones since they are launched/rebuilt via bays (it's the same property found on fabricated robots).
