However, irrespective of your ship's bandwidth, you can only only have as many drones in space at once as you have levels in the {{sk|Drones}} skill (up to 5 drones at level V). The only exception to this limit is the very rare [[Guardian-Vexor]] cruiser, but in every other case you can only ever have at most five drones in space at once.

{{example|The Tristan has a 40 m3 drone bay, allowing it to carry up to eight light drones. Its bandwidth is 25 Mbit/s, so that it can deploy, at most, five of those light drones in space at once (they need 5 Mbit/s each), but only if the pilot has trained the {{sk|Drones}} skill to level V. If it's carrying a mixture of light and medium drones, it could deploy up to two medium (10 Mbit/s each) and one light drone at once, assuming the pilot has trained Drones III.}}

With the exception of fighters (which are only used by capital ships) and special limited edition drones, a drone's bandwidth requirements (in Mbit/sec) is always the same number as its volume (in m3). Your ship's bandwidth is fixed, and is not affected by skills or modules.
