Previous recommendations for damage dealers apply to the dronebunny as well. Being the dronebunny doesn't mean you should sacrifice your regular damage dealing capabilities.

''Ship & modules:''

* <span style="color:red">'''Never'''</span> down-ship or compromise your ship's combat effectiveness in an attempt to be a better dronebunny.

''Gameplay:''

* Use fast ~~cycling weapon or stagger grouped weapon~~ (improves reaction times for drones).

* Pay attention to the fleet commander's target calls (they sometimes ask the dronebunny to hit separate targets).

* High scan resolution is preferred as well as ~~webs to~~ be able to ~~go after targets on your own~~.

** The order is situational, see [[Anatomy_of_Incursions#Utilizing_drones|utilizing drones]] and [[Anatomy_of_Incursions#Bonused_webs_and_flexible_dronebunny|flexible dronebunny]] for more information.

** (MO)'''NSTRE''' is something you can try to remember. It stands for a basic order of killing enemy frigates; Niarjas, Schmaels, Tamas, Renyns and Eysters. That doesn't mean you always shoot frigates, see the above two links and listen to your fleet commander's orders.

* Try to improve the efficiciency and responsiveness of the drones you command.

** Use webs to increase the damage potential of the drones.

** Group your weapons and stagger them if your cycle time isn't fast enough (improves reaction times for drones, as you'll be able to switch twice as fast).

* Keep an eye on idle drones.

** Remember that drones react to any offensive module being activated (turrets, launchers, webs, painters etc).

Line 108:

** Remember that not everyone has the same drone control range, so turn off and on weapons as enemies approach if you started shooting at a distance (most will have around 45km while some can have up to 60km drone control range).

** Speak up in Mumble if you still see idle drones after checking those.

* Pay attention to the fleet commander's target calls (they sometimes ask the dronebunny to hit separate targets).

** (MO)NSTRE is something you can try to remember. It stands for a basic order of killing enemy frigates; Niarjas, Schmaels, Tamas, Renyns and Eysters.

** The order is situational and your fleet commander may very well have you kill things in a different order.

* Don't forget to manually control your own drones, they will not automatically follow you since you're the dronebunny.
