Overview
- See also: Drone skills
Some training in the Drones category is essential for most PvE and PvP combat. Drones are a useful source of additional DPS, and they are also a key defence against small ships for large ships.
Almost every ship larger than a destroyer has a dronebay. Caldari ships tend to have the smallest dronebays, but even Caldari pilots should aim to be able to field a full flight of five light drones when they start flying battlecruisers.
Memory and perception are important in learning how to operate drones.
The following are the skills in the Drones section (in alphabetical order):

Light Drone Operation
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 1x |
Price: | 75k ISK |
Alpha max level: | V |
Prerequisites: | Drones I |
I required for: | Tech 1, 'Integrated', and Empire Faction Light Drones |
V required for: | Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Light Drones |
Notes: | A 5% drone damage bonus is not to be sniffed at, and most combat pilots should train this skill to IV. |
Medium Drone Operation
Attributes: | |

Heavy Drone Operation
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 5x |
Price: | 500k ISK |
Alpha max level: | III |
Prerequisites: | Drones V |
I required for: | Tech 1, 'Integrated', and Empire Faction Heavy Drones; Gecko |
V required for: | Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Heavy Drones |
Notes: | Not all races have subcapital ships with big enough dronebays to justify using heavy drones, but Gallente battleship pilots, Amarr pilots who fly the Armageddon and Minmatar pilots who fly the Typhoon should train for them. |
Sentry Drone Interfacing
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 5x |
Price: | 650k ISK |
Alpha max level: | Alpha pilot can not train this skill. |
Prerequisites: | Drone Interfacing IV; Drone Sharpshooting IV |
I required for: | Tech 1 and Faction Sentry Drones |
V required for: | Tech 2 Sentry Drones |
Notes: | Sentry drones are specialised, and large, and so like heavy drones they're mostly of interest to pilots who can fly ships with 125m3 or more of space in their dronebay. Level V lets you use T2 sentry drones. |
Advanced Drone Avionics
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 5x |
Price: | 600k ISK |
Alpha max level: | Alpha pilot can not train this skill. |
Prerequisites: | Drones V; Electronic Warfare IV |
I required for: | Small EWAR Drones |
II required for: | Medium EWAR Drones |
III required for: | Large EWAR Dones |
Notes: | The drone control range bonus applies to all types of drones, not just electronic warfare drones. ECM drones are a useful ace-in-the-hole in PvP. |
Racial Drone Specializations
Amarr Drone Specialization
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 5x |
Price: | 2-4M ISK |
Alpha max level: | II |
Prerequisites: | Drones V |
I required for: | Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Amarr Drones |
Notes: | This skill is not seeded in NPC stations so prices will vary widely. |
Caldari Drone Specialization
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 5x |
Price: | 3-9M ISK |
Alpha max level: | II |
Prerequisites: | Drones V |
I required for: | Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Caldari Drones |
Notes: | This skill is not seeded in NPC stations so prices will vary widely. |
Gallente Drone Specialization
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 5x |
Price: | 3-9M ISK |
Alpha max level: | II |
Prerequisites: | Drones V |
I required for: | Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Gallente Drones |
Notes: | This skill is not seeded in NPC stations so prices will vary widely. Gallente drones are very popular because they have good damage modifiers, and a damage type (thermal) which is reliably useful against most PvE and PvP enemies. |
Minmatar Drone Specialization
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 5x |
Price: | 3-9M ISK |
Alpha max level: | II |
Prerequisites: | Drones V |
I required for: | Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Minmatar Drones |
Notes: | This skill is not seeded in NPC stations so prices will vary widely. Minmatar drones are very popular for PvP because they are the fastest drones and although they don't do as much raw damage as Gallente drones they do explosive damage, which hits most armor tanks hard. |
Mutated Drone Specialization
2% bonus per skill level to the damage of light, medium, heavy and sentry drones requiring Mutated Drone Specialization.
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 6x |
Price: | 65M ISK |
Alpha max level: | Alpha pilot can not train this skill. |
Prerequisites: | Amarr Drone Specialization I, Caldari Drone Specialization I, Gallente Drone Specialization I, Minmatar Drone Specialization I |
Drone Support Skills
Drone Avionics
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 1x |
Price: | 60k ISK |
Alpha max level: | IV |
Prerequisites: | Drones I |
III required for: | Tech 1 and Officer Drone Link Augmentors |
IV required for: | Black Eagle Drone Link Augmentor |
V required for: | Drone Link Augmentor II |
Notes: | A useful skill to allow drones to attack targets farther from your ship. |
Drone Durability
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 5x |
Price: | 100k ISK |
Alpha max level: | IV |
Prerequisites: | Drones IV |
I required for: | Repair Drone Operation |
Notes: | Increasing drone hit points decreases the chance of losing drones, and thus saves money by reducing the number of drones you need to replace. |
Drone Interfacing
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 5x |
Price: | 750k ISK |
Alpha max level: | III |
Prerequisites: | Drones V |
IV required for: | Sentry Drone Interfacing |
V required for: | Fighters; Amarr Carrier; Caldari Carrier; Gallente Carrier; Minmatar Carrier |
Notes: | Each level of Drone Interfacing is like having half of another drone. Excellent support skill. |

Multiplier: | 1x |
Price: | 100k ISK |
Alpha max level: | IV |
Prerequisites: | Drones IV |
I required for: | Warrior SW-300 |
II required for: | Valkyrie SW-600 |
III required for: | Tech 1 and Faction Drone Navigation Computers; Berserker SW-900 |
V required for: | Drone Navigation Computer II |
Notes: | Faster drones means they get to the target and deal damage, and then return to you when you need them back, quicker. High levels in Drone Navigation also help your drones chase fast PvP targets like interceptors. |
Drone Sharpshooting
Attributes: | |
Multiplier: | 1x |
Price: | 150k ISK |
Alpha max level: | IV |
Prerequisites: | Drones V |
I required for: | Tech 1 Omnidirectional Tracking Links/Enhancers |
IV required for: | Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer II; Sentry Drone Interfacing |
V required for: | Omnidirectional Tracking Link II |
