~~~~ Drones V ~~ -~~ This is mandatory~~, if~~ you ~~are not fielding~~ 5 drones ~~in space~~ you ~~are wasting time, effort, ISK~~ and ~~even possibly ships~~.

; Drones V : This is mandatory. Each drone you add increases your damage output. 2 drones = 100% over 1. 3 drones = 50% over 2. 4 drones = 33% over 3. 4 drones = 25% increase over 4. So having less than 5 drones costs you with respect to the damage you can do and is more than the benefits from any other drone damage bonuses you can get.

~~~~ Scout Drone Operation V ~~ -~~ Adds 5km to max drone range per level and is needed at 5 to gain access to T2 variants.

; Scout Drone Operation V : Adds 5km to max drone range per level and is needed at 5 to gain access to T2 variants. Range of control is crucial to all types of drones and the tech 2 variants are roughly 2 times more powerful than the tech 1 versions.

~~~~ Combat Drone Operation IV ~~ -~~ +5% Damage for light/medium drones. Is a very important skill ~~if you want to field primarily~~ light ~~and medium~~ drones.

; Combat Drone Operation IV : +5% Damage for light/medium drones. Is a very important skill. Using large drones against small targets doesn't work well. Using the right sized drone against a target yields far superior results. Usually a flight of light drones will decimate a frigate faster than a group of sentry drones can.

~~~~ Drone Interfacing IV ~~ -~~ +20% Damage/Mining Yield. ~~Takes a long time~~ to ~~train~~ to 5 but ~~definitely worth~~ it ~~if you have~~ the ~~free~~ training time.

; Drone Interfacing IV : +20% Damage/Mining Yield. This is the second biggest boost skill to the damage your drones can do, directly behind Drones. Training it to 5 takes a great deal of time but training it to 4 will yield more damage benefits than getting a specialization to 4 so the training time really isn't much larger for the benefits you will get.
