The only real limiter to a Drones endurance is fuel and need for servicing.
So a fusion powered drone with some kind of new fangled, regenerating nano lubricant for it's moving parts could possibly be flying a 150 years into the future.
Equip it with lasers instead of missiles and it could be a surprising angle of mercy that saves the team from a tight spot. If they can just work out how to take control of the darned thing.
