Almost all drones (except the stationary sentry drones) have a built-in [[ | Almost all drones (except the stationary sentry drones) have a built-in [[MWD|microwarp drive (MWD)]], which allows them to travel quickly to engage a target. Once they arrive near their target, they shut down their MWD, orbit the target, and fire their weapons. This means that drones have to travel to the target and then stay within range of it in order to apply their damage. In practice, this means that drones will have difficulty against faster, more agile targets, as even though they may be able to catch them thanks to their MWD, they may not be able to stay within weapons range for long at their non-MWD speed. Larger drones in particular are almost useless against fast frigates for this reason. | ||

Salvage drones work like Salvager modules, and extract salvage from the wrecks of destroyed ships. The Salvage Drone I and II need 5 | 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. | 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.

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.

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.

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. | 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. | ||
