The way it is now drones are actually just large long range missiles.



Of course this is open to discussion. I just wanted to point out that the were deliberately designed to be cruise missiles and nothing else. If this is good or bad, what the fans want or don’t want, is an entirely different matter.
Personally I think it is a wise decision. If they can move around and warp they are nothing less then small ships without maintenance that can be build without a spaceyard and are very fast. Why should anyone build small ships instead?
