On-board drones (boarding etc) -> custom images

[Metzelmax]

So, I am making custom images for the drones on board your ship. I allready made one for the boarding drone, but theres the problem. Anti-person drones and Boarding drones share the same image. And if I make a new boarding drone (which I did) there is no place (<img>) in the xml there I could assign it to another image. It all takes from the <battle_drone> animation.

so my question: Is there a way to make different layouts for boarding/ anti person drones and even multiple boarding drone types at the same time... or is it hard coded?

They all share the same images, with one exception:
player drones have a separate image sheet to enemy drones.
You can find this in resources/img/people
However, beyond that, there is no difference between antipersonnel or boarding - so at best, you could make your own ship's drones look different to the ones the enemies use, but that's the extent of it as far as I can tell.

feared that would be the case. Well, then the standard boarding drone of the mantis ship looks the same, as my GX-3 boarding drone... what a shame.

Aaaand I just found that the enemy and your Drones share the same Power up/ depower animation... WHY?
