| − | * Caldari drones have the longest range (about 150% more than Gallente drones), but with the lowest tracking and damage.
| |
| − | * Gallente drones do the most damage (21% more than Caldari drones) and have the best tracking (200% better than Caldari drones), but have the shortest range.
| |
| − | * Amarr and Minmatar drones fall between Caldari and Gallente drones in terms of damage and range (Minmatar drones do a little more damage with better tracking than Caldari drones, but have less range; Amarr drones have slightly more range than Gallente drones, but worse tracking and damage).
| |
| | | | |
| − | Therefore, the four race's drones represent a sliding scale between damage and range (with short-ranged drones having better tracking). Note that, in the table below, range is given as "[[Gunnery_Guide#Range|first falloff]]" (i.e. the optimal range plus 1 falloff); Amarr and Minmatar drones both have the same optimal range, but the Minmatar drones have a much longer falloff range.

| − | | |
| − | Note that, for sentry drones, the Tech 2 and Faction variants do not have higher damage than their Tech 1 counterparts (although the damage of Tech 2 drones can be further increased by training the racial drone specialization skills).

| − | === Sentry Drones ===
| |
| − | Sentries are immobile drones that serve as stationary gun platforms. They are carried in a ship's drone bay and launched as needed. However, they cannot move and must be picked up physically at the conclusion of an engagement.
| |
| − | | |
| − | At the same size (25m³) and bandwidth (25Mbit/sec) as heavy drones, sentries are powerful, long range damage dealers. Their immobility and somewhat low tracking speeds makes them most effective against slower, larger targets, and generally they are deployed from battleships or similar combat vessels.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Although each type of sentry drone does the damage typical of its racial affiliation, drone choice often has to do with relative damage, range, and tracking. These are summarized here, with the detailed numerical data shown next.

| − | <center>T2 drones do the same damage as do T1s. However, they have longer range and faster tracking.</center>
| |

| − | == Skills and Fittings ==
| |
| − | Sentry drones are affected by all general drone [[Drones#Skills|skills]] as well as by [[Drone Capable Ships|ship]] and [[Drones#Modules_and_rigs|equipment]] bonuses. <span style="color:#bfbb7d"> Note, however, that bonuses that improve drone movement will not help sentries at all, and those that apply to drone control range will probably not help much either.</span>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Skills that are particularly useful to sentry drone operations include:
| |
| − | *{{sk|Drone Sharpshooting}} - 5% increase in optimal range per level
| |
| − | *{{sk|Drone Interfacing}} - 10% bonus to drone damage per level
| |
| − | *{{sk|Sentry Drone Interfacing}} - 5% bonus to sentry drone damage per level
| |
| − | | |
| − | The mid-slot [https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Item_Database:Ship_Equipment:Drone_Upgrades Omnidirectional Tracking Link] improves the optimal range and tracking of all drones, and is especially useful for sentries. It uses scripts and draws capacitor power. The low slot [http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=33824 Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer] is similar. It provides more range with slower tracking and uses neither scripts nor capacitor power.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The low slot [https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Drone_Damage_Amplifier_I Drone Damage Amplifier] provides a damage bonus to all combat drones.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The rig, [https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Item_Database:Ship_Modifications:Rigs:Drone_Rigs Sentry Damage Augmentor], applies specifically to sentry drones. It increases sentry drone damage at the expense of ship CPU capacity.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Strategy and Tactics ==
| |
| − | Most players recommend treating sentry drones as if they were a second set of guns. Deploy a full flight within range of your targets and turn them on - and then then use your ship to defend the drones, shooting the smaller, faster ships that will be the first to arrive.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Given the power of the drones, the larger, slower ships will likely be killed ''before'' they can arrive. If they do arrive, however, and if any drones are damaged, pick them up and replace them. (Remember that sentry drones cannot fly back to your ship ... you must physically go and get them.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | If things get too hot, pick up all your drones, run out to range, drop the drones again, and continue the fight. This approach is is sometimes described as boring, but it is effective and relatively safe.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | === Pros and Cons ===
| |
| − | Relative to other combat drones, Sentry Drones trade mobility for range. Their damage is somewhat lower than that of heavy combat drones, but the heavy drones waste considerable time flying from enemy to enemy ... whereas the sentry drones can retarget new enemies very quickly. Most players seem to agree that sentry drones, when used properly, are superior to heavy drones in PvE combat.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Pro
| |
| − | *High damage at long range
| |
| − | *No travel time; re-targeting is very fast
| |
| − | *Can easily be picked up if damaged, so not as often destroyed
| |
| − | *Easy to pick up and redeploy if different damage type is needed
| |
| − | *The only drone type that has a specific bonus rig
| |
| − | *No need for high level drone skills relating to movement
| |
| − | | |
| − | Con
| |
| − | *Immobility means that targets must be brought to the drones
| |
| − | *Cannot travel; must be picked up
| |
| − | *Your ship must stay near the drones
| |
| − | *Effectiveness drops off if targets get too close
| |
| − | *All damage types not available at all ranges
| |
| − | *Require high level targeting, damage and range skills for best use
