Are you talking about having them open when you take damage?

It's pretty hard to detect when you're hit. Damage detectors need asstons of connections before they're at all effective, and that only works when you have already lost all of your shields and have started taking block damage. Enemy detectors would be a lot more efficient, but they run the risk of deploying when you're next to a pirate station or something.

you could base it off of AMS so that it works when you come under attack from missile fire, also you could add a (AND) logic so that you can have a kill switch for more control.

Here is a link to one of Heillos' designs: Enemy Detection (Model II)
It worked well for my carrier. Just one thing to note: Enemy detectors sometimes glitch, leading to an impromptu launching of drones. Easiest fix is to add them to a fleet and use the command to redock, but you probably already know this.

Here is an example of a working dead-man's switch. With a little help from the forums I have a hit-detection activation-block that will launch my drones when it gets destroyed. (on the nose, centered just below the Auto-cannon.) Can launch from toolbar and button as well.
