Anti Bio-beam still deals damage to drones.

I don't think drones have any bio in them.

Anyway you should at least not get the "Disintegration-Ray" achievement by killing drones with the beam.

The achievement description states to kill 3 CREW.

What if the robots are using biocircuits or something to enhance their positronic brains?

Plus, according to the game, Drones are crew too, you space racist :P

According to the game, Drones have 'Crew' rather than Hull or Room health, and thus take Crew damage.
It doesn't make much sense but would involve a bit of scripting to fix.

It would also ruin the other weapons that do crew damage. A Breach Bomb for example would tear Drones apart just as easily as it tears apart hull. The easiest solution would be to rename the Anti-Bio Beam to "Disintegration Ray" to avoid confusion.
