Its possible drones will never do missions only niantic can answer this. But if they will be able to there needs to be a limit how many you can complete.
Hi, sorry, noob question. I've been around somewhere between 4 and 5 years now but play pretty remotely on my own and wasn't overly aware of a lot of things to do with Ingress in the first couple of years.
Personally I would not like to see drones interactive with missions in any way.
A potential solution to slightly difficult to reach portals during missions would be a "boost" item like an Apex.
Such an item could expand your meter radius of interaction for an interval of time. I believe this would be doable because they have expanded the range of influence in Pokemon Go as a Pandemic Bonus feature. It could be similarly priced to an Apex and perhaps agents could receive One per level up loadout.
Just so you know, I dont do missions at all, find them too boring, and with a drone I still wouldn't do missions as I much prefer my drone to sit on a high level portal. But I'm pointing out somethi g that can help many players. So what if a couple of lazy agents use it to skip one last portal? The benefits far outweigh the "cons"
Thats still the issue of having to pay, thereby being punished, to get portals that can't be reached, how is that fair on people with disabilities or portals that are cut off because of construction or whatever. If the idea is a boost that doesn't reward any items, then the better answer would be to make it that when you accept a mission the range for portals is increased for hacking, again no items for doing it and only works the one time at esch portal. At the end of the day though, no one should have to pay because of some circumstance not allowing them to.finish a mission
I've suggested having a grid booster that lets you interact with any portal in the same Level18 S2 Cell regardless of how far it is.. it would even show the s2 grid outlines on the scanner. This idea was kind of inspired by Tron.

Quick addendum: if you hack a mission's waypoint with the boost item then you can't acquire the portal's key (or no items at all).
Good thought on the key for sure!
