I dunno, that seems like a ginormous gaping security hole, if any ship containing mere drones could be compromised - even the tiniest ones with the least powerful engines (& thus shields, etc.) - and then it in turn could decide to blow up the queen… and/or literally all other ships. Any collective with such a feature baked-in sounds like it would not remain in existence for all that long, unless there were literally no other species nearby it that were even remotely close to their level of technological development.
You’re forgetting 1. Only the Queen can blow upthe Queen/unimatrix. (Andduh she wouldn’t0 and 2. This applied to drones too essentially. They shut themeselves down when not function long correctly.
