Most Drones and Vees with a Drone Remote Carrier Command System have construction errors.

Brief Description *

The Hi-Scout drone carrier needs an update, its DRCCS is from an old, incompatible version that worked differently, rendering it an invalid unit.

When it is updated, Its DRCCS needs to be able to control up to 5 units.

The Hi-Scout PathTrak and NapFind drones both have Standard Seats they are not supposed to, this makes the PathTrak overweight by 75kg and thus invalidates it, the NapFind has 240kg to spare in its weight, so it is still valid.

3. Steps to Reproduce

Load the Hi-Scout and its drones into MegaMekLab.

Final Verification

• I confirm this is a single, unique issue that hasn't been reported before
• I have included all necessary information and files to help reproduce this issue
• I have asked on MegaMek Discord about this issue
• I have confirmed this issue is being opened on the correct repository: MegaMek, MegaMekLab, or MekHQ

Addition: This actually appears to effect anything with a Drone Remote Carrier Control System, including the Diggs Drone Control Tank and the Long Tom Drone Command Carriage, and the Experimental Cunnington Hi-Scout variant.

The Buffalo Drone Bomb is another drone unit that has excess crew compartments rendering it overweight and invalidated.

I am closing this issue as most or all units with drone remote carriers were fixed.
