Made swarm drone carrier my self before, the problem is:
First, AI blocks are not cheap(at least for now), you can't afford to lose them in campaign, thus they need survivability.
Second, AIs are not smart enough to not bump into you, and their number makes this worse.
Finally, their number also makes your frame rate worse.

Possible, though not likely ideal for drones. The hover glitch is much better used on larger techs. Super tiny drones can get enough mobility from normal methods and are light enough that hoverpads alone are often enough. Plus, there's the problem of needing high weight to counter the hoverglitch lift or using even more space on a very small build to have opposing glitch effects.

Thoughts about creating a swarm bot that releases maybe a hundred mini drones that use the hover glitch and wings which each have 2 missile launchers on them?

That would be amazing! Though my guess is we won't see much in terms of AI improvements until the Legion corporation. Wouldn't mind being wrong about that though.

now we need an AI that can switch between jobs, make combat AI seek enemies, support AI track allies, and harvest AI seek resources.

a fleet, nice!
