Drones can be a tremendous asset on the field, with a damage potential anywhere from 500 up to 900+ dps from light combat drones alone in vanguards. But you need to use them wisely or end up wasting their potential.

In a less skilled fleet consisting of regular tech one ships the frigates present a noticable problem, especially if the fleet is battleship heavy. Instead of trying to use battlecruisers to remedy the problem (which in turn would just cause other problems), you can utilize the dronebunny to effectively handle the fast, small signature, tight orbiting frigates. Drones can even dispose of unwebbed frigates, although they should always be complemented with a web or two to speed things up.

One thing to remember about drones is that they have very short optimals and you also need to factor in travel time. You want them to spend more time shooting and less time moving. As such, there's no ''one way'' to use drones, but instead highly situational. See [[#Bonused_webs_and_flexible_dronebunny|bonused webs]] under '''Advanced tactics''' below for more information.
