===Drones===

If you are going to be using drones at all then other than getting {{sk|Drones}} to V you should consider adding some of the things that Drones V opens up to you. drones are really fast and they can pull quite a range, plus they are target-able which means that they more often then not end up tanking for you. This makes them ideal for ratters as well as a fairly strong choice for fleets ([http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Ishtar Ishtar] fleets)

*{{sk|Drone Interfacing}}: Increases all drones damage by 10% per level, per drone that extra bit of damage really helps you in both pvp and pve situations for breaking tank.

*{{sk|Drone Navigation}}: Increases the max drone velocity of your drones which is ideal for catching most kite fit ships.

*{{sk|Drone Durability}}: Increases drone shield, armor, and hull hit points making them tankier then normal, remember the longer they stay alive the more damage application they have.

*{{sk|Drone Avionics}} as well as {{sk|Advanced Drone Avionics}}: Were new skills reformed from old skill in the Kronos expansion, Drone Avionics increases your drone control range by 5000 meters. Where as Advanced Drone Avionics adds an extra 3000 meters to your drone control range as well as being a prerequisite for Ewar Drones. Drone Avionics to V is a must if you are considering drones at all because once your target is outside your drone range they become unusable, thus causing you to have to burn in closer to you target.

*{{sk|Drone Sharpshooting}}: Increases your drones optimal range which is not essential for a beginner but is mandatory if you are considering the use of [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Drones#Sentry_drones Sentry Drones].

*[http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Drones#Racial_drone_specialization Racial Drone Specializations]: Further increases your drone damage for all drones of that race. With the release of Kronos came a significant change to all the racial drones which makes it so that they all serve more of a purpose and Gallente/Minmatar drones no longer monopolize our drone bays. With this it is now beneficial to level all 4 of the specialization skills to III or IV minimum.
