1) What I usually do is order them to protect me, then hit seta. Eventually they'll crash into me and be put back into the cargo bay. May not work as well for super beefed up systems however.

2) They go into the cargo bay.

3) For protection; Yes, but not for transferring wares. Use freight drones instead. They have shields and 800 cargo space each.

4) You could try to contact them and see if you can get them to stand down. If not, kill em.

What did you do, wind up the local destroyer? :o

The only place I know to get freight drones is at Atreus HQ in Queens Harbour, but if you open your in-game encyclopedia it'll tell you under the freight drones info any and all stations that produce/stock them.

I noticed in my game that Freight Drones are available for sale in NPC Teladi Drone Factories. I have one such NPC factory in Teladi Gain. I don't know about other races Drone Factories. But at least that is one northern sector worth investigating.
