My definition of drone is pretty much what we currently have with the fleet system.
A smaller ship that lacks jump capability (because current fleet commands don't allow for a fleet ship to use a jump drive) that are docked to a larger mother ship and deployed for limited area combat before being recalled to their carrier.
A drone must be actually carried to a combat zone by a ship (or could be used to defend a station). I draw a distinction between a drone and a Bobby AI driven ship. You could use a fleet command to move a titan to a system across the galaxy, but that doesn't make the titan a drone.
