Guys. It's not about that at all.
You're worried about balance.
For the fact that other types of logistics will cease to be relevant.

I'm talking about charging drones, from the hero.

You can nerf drones as much as you want. In relation to drone-stations.

But charging from the hero should be instant!
Or at least, drones should be able to charge together, not alternately.
Although one does not interfere with the other …

Oh I understand. We can see that with quality, personal roboports will get a significant boost too : We see an epic MK2 roboport with 7 charging ports (standard has only 4). So I guess legendary will have 8 ports. Charging personal robots won't be instant, but up to twice as fast.

Well, yes, otherwise that's a mod request.

They already do. For each personal roboport you have in your armor's grid, you can charge 4 bots at the same time. So 4 roboports allows you to charge 16 bots at a time.

Edit: And apparently Quality will increase that further.
