Just then, Kevin saw a flash of engines, as the two Valkyrie pilots zoomed out to meet the enemy. Those two were the daredevils of the crew, assigned to first launch, with 8 other pilots waiting in their ships should those two take too much fire or the Captain ordered a different set of attack craft into space for his own reasons. the drone pilots would always argue about the best type of payload. Valkyrie pilots always arguing for good old-fashioned high explosive, and sure of their position based on the fact there were 4 of them and only 2 pilots assigned to deliver each of 3 other payloads. Within moments, the enemy fleet fell to ruin, the drone pilots whooping in glee as they delivered their goods to the enemy.
Not lore accurate I dont think but this is how I imagine drones working, taken from a story I posted recently. I might rework it later to be more in line with canon.
