They only shot when the player shots.

No worries, the drones are cloak along with your ship
Some people wonder why it is taking them forever to get to the next level. What you need to know is that every time you get kill the experience gained on the drones resets.

So remember try not to die since even if you get to 1599 EP points on your drones, but if you die it will reset back to the same level as if you just start in level 5.
