'''Drones''' are semi-autonomous vehicles launched from ships and designed to augment the launching ship's capabilities. All four races use drones to a greater or lesser degree, so many ships, especially larger ships, will have drone capabilities.

If you undock with drones in your drone bay, a new window for controlling drones will appear on your screen. Via this window, you can launch drones from your drone bay, give commands to them once they are in space, and recover them back into your drone bay.

A ship must have a drone bay to use drones. You can find out if a ship has a drone bay, and how big it is, by looking at the Attributes tab in its Show Info window. If it has a drone bay, it will tell you the drone bay's capacity in cubic meters ({{m3}}). The size of a ship's drone bay determines how many drones you can carry with you, ready to be launched into space; larger and more powerful drones take up more space in your drone bay.

{{example|The [[Tristan]] has a 40&nbsp;{{m3}} drone bay, which means it can carry up to eight light drones (which take up 5&nbsp;{{m3}} each), or four medium drones (10&nbsp;{{m3}} each), or a combination of the two (e.g. two medium and four light drones).}}

The size of your ship's drone bay is fixed and cannot be enlarged using modules or skills. Only drones can be carried in a drone bay; it cannot be used to carry other cargo. While you can carry drones in your cargo bay, you can only use them if they are in the drone bay. You can only move drones in or out of your drone bay while docked at a station, or by using a ship/structure with a fitting service (e.g. a [[Mobile Depot]] or a [[Capital Ship]]).

=== Bandwidth ===
=== Bandwidth ===
The other important ship attribute is its "bandwidth". This is the ship's ability to control drones in space and is measured in Mbit/sec. You can only deploy as many drones as you have available bandwidth on your ship, and bigger drones require more bandwidth. Your ship's bandwidth is fixed and is not affected by skills or modules.
The other important ship attribute is its '''bandwidth'''. This is the ship's ability to control drones in space and is measured in Mbit/sec. You can only deploy as many drones as you have available bandwidth on your ship, and bigger drones require more bandwidth. Your ship's bandwidth is fixed and cannot be increased by skills or modules (but it can be decreased if a '''Warp Core Stabilizer''' is fitted).


Many ships (and especially [[Drone Capable Ships|dedicated drone ships]]) can carry many more drones in their drone bays than they can deploy at once; this allows them to selectively deploy different types of drones, or to replace drones that are destroyed in combat. 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}}).

However, irrespective of your ship's bandwidth, you can only have as many drones in space at once as you have levels in the {{sk|Drones}} skill which allows up to 5 drones at level V. (The only exception to this limit is the very rare [[Guardian-Vexor]] cruiser.) This means that with high bandwidth you might be able to deploy five heavy or five light drones, while with lower bandwidth you may only be able to put out five of the light ones.

Once you give a command to your drones, they start carrying it out in the next [[server tick]]. In practice, this means that your drones may take 1-2 seconds to respond after you give a command.

=== Default behavior settings ===
[[File:Drone options.png|thumb|Modify drone behavior.]]
[[File:Drone options.png|thumb|Modify drone behavior.]]
You can modify your drones' default behavior through the drop down menu at the top left of the drone control window.
The  drones' default behavior can be set through the menu that appears when clicking the cog icon on the "Drones in space" folder bar. The icon becomes visible when hovering over the folder bar.
* '''{{co|wheat|Passive}}'''
; {{co|wheat|Auto Attack}}
Your drones will not automatically attack hostile ships in this mode, but will stay in orbit around your ship until given a specific command. This is the default mode, and it's recommended to keep your drones in this mode for PvE (particularly when running missions, as you want to control which rats you aggro) and for most PvP.
:; Disabled : Drones will not automatically attack hostile ships, but will stay in orbit around the ship until given a specific command. This is the default mode, and it is recommended to keep drones in this mode for PvE (particularly when running missions, as you want to control which rats you aggro) and for most PvP.
 
:; Enabled : Drones will automatically attack any entity which shows aggression to them or the ship (using the same targeting logic as [[Missile Launchers#Auto-Targeting Missiles|auto-targeting missiles]]{{Verify}}). Note that they will only react to hostiles which begin aggressing <em>after</em> the drones were launched{{Verify}}.
* '''{{co|wheat|Aggressive}}'''
Your drones will automatically attack any entity which attacks your ship (using the same targeting logic as [[Missile Launchers#Auto-Targeting Missiles|auto-targeting missiles]]). Note that they will only react to hostiles which begin attacking you ''after'' the drones were launched.


This mode can be useful if you are being [[Electronic Countermeasures|jammed]], as it gives you a chance to attack ''something'' at least. However, as your drones are fairly dumb in their target selection, in almost every other situation you want to command your drones manually as your drones may inadvertently attack something you would rather not.

* '''{{co|wheat|Focus fire}}'''
::; {{co|wheat|Focus fire}}
If you tick this box, then all your drones in space will attack a single target (particularly if they are choosing their own targets in "Aggressive" mode). There are almost no situations in which this box should not be checked.
::: Only applies when Auto Attack is enabled.
:::; Disabled : Every drone will decide its own target.
:::; Enabled : All drones attack a single target. There are almost no situations in which this box should not be checked.


* '''{{co|wheat|Attack and follow}}'''
; {{co|wheat|Attack and follow}}
This option applies to fighter and fighter-bomber drones (as used by [[capital ships]]). As these drones have built-in warp drives, they can follow your targets even if they warp away - if you want to prevent this (and keep your drones with you), uncheck the box. Disabling the "attack and follow" setting is a good idea if you suspect that your target may warp to a [[POS]] and if your fighter drones follow, they will likely be destroyed by the POS' defenses.
{{Hatnote|(18 August 2024: In the old image this option was shown under the section "Fighter Settings" Today's upload does not have that section, but the source was also not fighter capable.)}}

Therefore, the four race's drones represent a sliding scale between damage and speed (the percentages in the table below are relative to the worst-performing drone family). Note that the table lists two values for speed: the speed with MWD on (when the drones are chasing a target), and the orbital speed with MWD off (when the drones are orbiting and attacking a target).

|Gecko <ref>The Gecko is a cross between a heavy and a fighter drone, which was given out for free to every pilot before the Kronos expansion. It can be flown by subcapital ships but requires 50 Mbit/s of bandwidth (twice as much as a heavy drone) and deals omni-damage (i.e. its damage is split equally between the four damage types). It requires the same skills to fly as a Tech 1 heavy drone, and there are no Tech 2 or other variants of it.</ref>

Each race has three EW drones, based on their light, medium and heavy combat drones. The type of EWAR is indicated by a two-letter abbreviation in the drone's name, while the size is indicated by the numbers 300 (small), 600 (medium) and 900 (large). So, for example, the small sensor dampening drone is called a Hobgoblin SD-300 (based on the Hobgoblin light drone), while the medium tracking disruption drone is called a Valkyrie TD-600 (based on the Valkyrie medium drone).

Unlike module-based EWAR, the strength of their EWAR is not affected by ship bonuses, skills, rigs, or modules. Also, since the EWAR effects are [[Stacking penalties|stacking penalized]] with other EWAR drones and module-based EWAR, so, starting from the third or fourth EWAR source, additional drones will have very little additional effect. ECM drones (like ECM modules) are not stacking-penalized.

Salvage drones work like Salvager modules, and extract salvage from the wrecks of destroyed ships. The Salvage Drone I and II need 5 {{m3}} of drone bay space and 5 Mbit/s of bandwidth (like a light combat drone). They have a lower chance to salvage wrecks than the salvager modules (3% and 4% base access difficulty, compared with 5% and 7% for the Tech 1 and Tech 2 modules, respectively). This can be increased by training {{sk|Salvage Drone Operation|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Salvage Drone Specialization|icon=yes}}, allowing them (if trained to level V) to salvage any wreck. Their chance to salvage cannot be improved by other skills, or by modules, rigs, or implants. Just like for salvager modules, salvage drones do not loot wrecks; if a wreck containing loot is salvaged, the loot is left in a container in space.

Salvage drones can automatically salvage any nearby (up to the edge of the player's drone control range) wrecks, as long as they belong to the player or their fleet/corporation. Additionally, they can be specifically ordered to salvage wrecks belonging to other players (marked in yellow on the [[overview]]), although this must be done manually for each wreck. When a drone successfully salvages a wreck, it will return to your ship to drop off the salvage (into your ship's cargo bay) before immediately heading back out into space. Salvage drones have an MWD that is always running, but are still very slow (about 10% slower than the slowest heavy drone), so salvaging more distant wrecks may take some time.

Making salvage drones salvage wrecks automatically can be tricky. If you target a wreck and command your drones to salvage it they will not move to a new wreck after they are done. Instead, you need to select the drones (such as through the drone window) and command them to salvage (either in right click menu or in the selected item window). After this, the salvage drones will keep on salvaging all wrecks that are in range.
Making salvage drones salvage wrecks automatically can be tricky. If you target a wreck and command your drones to salvage it they will not move to a new wreck after they are done. Instead, order the drones to salvage without having any target selected. After this, the salvage drones will keep on salvaging all wrecks that are in range. Note that they will all focus on the closest wreck first, and work their way further away. To be more efficient, zip around the battlefield (looting or orbiting something) so that the 'closest' wreck changes often; or micromanage them by assigning individual wrecks to salvage. They will auto-salvage after they finished on their assigned wreck if they have been given that command earlier, resuming their closest-to-furthest routine.

As their name suggests, these drones [[mining|mine]] [[Asteroids and ore|ore from asteroids]].


Mining drones will mine the targeted asteroid for one cycle (60 seconds), then return to your ship, drop off the mined ore (into your cargo bay or mining hold), and fly back to the asteroid to continue mining. Despite these drones having a MWD that is always running, they are very slow (about half as fast as heavy combat drones), and therefore it's important to keep your ship as close as possible to the asteroid they are mining, to avoid losing too much time in transit. Training {{sk|Mining Drone Operation|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Drone Interfacing|icon=yes}} improves their mining yield, and training {{sk|Drone Navigation|icon=yes}} increases their speed.

For comparison, a Miner I mining module can mine 40&nbsp;{{m3}}/min of ore. There are no mining drones for [[gas cloud harvesting]].

Much like a mining module, if the mining cycle is manually cut short (in this case, by ordering the drone to return), the drone will get the amount of ore mined proportionally to how much of the cycle was completed, but in other cases, progress will be canceled, including if the ship has no more room for the ore by the time they return.
