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 m<sup>3</sup> 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 m<sup>3</sup>). Your ship's bandwidth is fixed, and is not affected by skills or modules.
