== Drones ==

Drones can be a tremendous asset, if you pick the right ones and use them intelligently. The sum of all the drones in fleet can easily amount to the equivalent of adding an extra pilot or two on grid, so it's not something to treat lightly. See [[Anatomy_of_Incursions#Utilizing_drones|utilizing drones]] for more information on how to make the most of drones.

==== Light ~~combat~~ drones ====

~~'''Acolyte II''' drones combine good applied damage with good enough orbital and microwarpdrive speeds, making it the ideal light combat drone to deal with frigates~~. ~~As such it's our recommended drone for~~ [[Incursion sites#Vanguard sites|~~vanguard~~ sites]].

When selecting drones you need to factor in how to get the best mix of microwarpdrive and orbital speeds, tracking and optimal range for the type of fleet and sites you run. Amarr drones generally provide the best mix for most situations except for headquarter sites. Below are the drones we recommend within our community.

~~==== Medium combat drones ====~~

'''~~Garde~~ II''' ~~and~~ '''~~Curator~~ II''' ~~drones combine good damage and good damage application, making them the ideal sentry drones for situations where you don~~'t ~~move for~~ an ~~extended period of time. As such it~~'~~s our recommended drone for those special fleets where sentry~~ drones are ~~useful. The choice between the two is based purely on the range needed, with Gardes being~~ preferred ~~if possible~~.
