Drones also allow things like SBMHAWK pods.. missile holding, one-shot pods that can make warp point trasfers to shoot up the defenders before the actually force arrives.

They are basiclly expendable ships, that can be given targets, either sectors, ships, or what have you, then go off on their merry way until they complete their objective or run out fuel.. then they self-destruct.
