Is it? The Wraith seem to flit about and take a lot of pit stops. The
Humans can send Daedalus back and forth between galaxies which the
wraith cannot seem to do.

attack or torpedo fighters. They can probably be destroyed by darts that
are screening a wraith cruiser, but they pretty much ignore screens and
do some serious damage. Of course, their has to be an attritional
component to the damage - sometimes a drone will fly into a wraith
hiveship and out again, other times that encounter destroys the drone
(hits something solid enough or something).

Good point. I was wondering how to model these. However they seem to
have a LOT of them on board. A typical carrier doesn't tend to have
nearly enough bays for the quantity of drones some things can launch.
