	Fast and nimble, Wasp drones typically outnumber and easily swarm enemy fighter formations while their Stinger mines prevent stragglers from getting through. Faced with point-defense weaponry, their fragility begins to tell, but the lack of a pilot on board means losses are more easily absorbed.
–In-Game Description

Notes

Between their speed, fragility and the proximity mine system the Wasp is best thought of as a loitering munition rather than a fighter in a traditional sense. A wing of Wasps flying into a wing of any other craft usually results in both evaporating instantly in a huge explosion - hovewer Wasps have no crew and take only 5 seconds to replace which means such trades are almost universally in their favour. If you're looking for a solution to enemy fighters on a budget it's hard to beat the Wasp.
