I could see maybe a few options as to drone choices. But a Wisp or a Fairy, or even a sphere of ice wouldnt really be a "device" would it?
So, in short, yes to more options for the drone, no to wisps and whatnot.

Maybe different device options.

I don't want to be the bringer of bad news, but: this, I believe falls under the heading of "power customization" and the way the system currently works is that 1 power = 1 effect. This is different than, say, a costume piece like Shields, guns or swords. More akin technically to all of the effects from Blast powers. I believe the long-time stumbling block is that there isn't a mechanism for setting multiple appearances for a single power's animated graphic. THere's have to literally be separate powers (targetting drone 1, TD 2, TD 3) for there to be different graphics for it.
That is, until they find a way to shoehorn a new mechanic into their system.
Which they currently have already implemented in the form of weapons customization for things like axe, broadsword, claws, dual blades, mace, katana, archery, and AR.
It wouldnt be out of context to do that for things like targetting drone.

Not quite the same.
The 'weapon' can be customised as its basically a costume piece, the visual FX for the power are all the same.
The targeting drone is a continous power FX, much like say a meleers armour is.

The devs will do power customization in the future. They have to. DC and Champions will have power customization...so they will have to 'spruce up' to match that item.
Methinks it might come either with Going Rogue or after its release, since that game is going have a game engine upgrade.
When will we get to customize the Targeting drone? Blasters don't get any fancy-schmancy weapon customizations (unlockable, of course) except AR (tommygun ftw!).
Since the vet reward for pets (second pets that actually contribute minimally) are things like Fairies and Wisps, I thought... wouldn't it be cool to have a WISP for a T-drone!
Granted, I don't think I'd like a Fairy flying around my head, but little yellow birds might be funny... (ala bugs bunny cartoons when someone is dazed).
Seriously, we could think of other things in addition to the defacto t-drone, I think that'd be pretty cool. Make sure it could "orbit" (i.e. spin on it's own axis and around a central point of your head, you pointy-headed bastige).
Wisps seems good, or maybe the various elemental things (think of the /e juggle??? items from the magic booster) like fire spheres, ice spheres, crystal-like ones, even dark (but don't think that'd work well).
It would be nice to hear from whomever is in charge of such things. Should be a simple re-maping of textures to the model, provided they're about the same size as the existing t-drone. Then a new sound loop or two... heh, could even have the Star Wars one that Luke played with on the Falcon back in '79...
Anyway, just some thoughts.
