more than 4 drones active at the same time ?

can we have more than 4 drones active at the same time ?

As far as I know, you can only have 1 Drone active even if you've maxed the Robotics perk. Are you playing a mod that allows extra Drones? Robotic Sledge and Turret are not considered drones, but points in the Robotics perk does upgrade the quality of Drone you craft.

ok, so the 4 is a bug then ... sad, it's very usefull, no need to constantly go back to the trader

If it's mainly the cargo room you are after, then apparently we're allowed to install multiple cargo mods in the Drone, so a rank 6 Drone with 4 cargo mods has room for about 50 items, which along with the player's inventory and a vehicle's inventory is pretty good even for a Nomadic playstyle.

I know I'm digging the topic out of the grave, but I have to respond for those who come here as I do.
You can't have four ACTIVE drones, you can only have one active.
IF you unlock the last skill in the "Intellect - Robotics Invertor" category you can have two drones active.
(You can have four drones summoned, but their abilities such as healing and morale booster will only work on the one (two with a level five skill) closest to you.

But, that's WHY we do NOT resurrect old posts... cuz the data is usually obsolete. 2023 isn't all that long ago though really. But, yeah... since this old post, the devs have re-worked the drones quite a bit... less bugs theoretically. That's a good clarification though for how it 'currently' works.
