Regarding the next stage perhaps the more felxible approach would be to have a number of drones (3 for example) that would be slaved to a central fighter variant at least 2 crew,probably 3 (Pilot, Nav, drone operator).

Drones can be sent to recce, attack, and get into the high threat areas whilst the lead ship loiters away from the area but giving LOS comms and human decision making.


Or the whole lot controlled from a larger 747 style airplane with more operators, flying 300nm away from the fight.
