The farther you are away from human control, the more autonomous the drones have to be. Light is fast, but as the distance increases, so does the delay. It would be some time before a drone would be a better fighter pilot than a human would. but drones have a big advantage drones in that they don't need to eat or sleep. If you had human fighter pilots out by, say, Neptune, you would need a base for them. Drones wouldn't need this. They could sit quietly for months or even years, waiting for their orders.
