; 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. 5 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. 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. 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. 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.

; Heavy Drone Operation V : Allows for the use of heavy drones and adds +5% damage per level. When using heavy drones its vital to get 5 in this skill to open access to the T2 variants.

; Sentry Drone Interfacing IV : Allows for the use of sentry drones and adds +5% damage per level. Only worth training to 5 if sentry drones are used often enough to warrant T2 use.

;Drone Navigation III : Increases the drones MWD speed by 5% but can cause your drones to overshoot. Train with caution. Faster drones means they get to the target faster but also will cause an 'over shot' type effect, costing damage as the drones then may need to move back in range of the target. Fast drones against slow targets is where you will see this come into play.

; Drone Durability III : +5% to drone shield, armour and hull hit points. Not the most useful drone skill but can help a keen eyed pilot save a targeted drone.

; Racial Drone Specialization III : These come in four flavours each giving +2% damage bonus to drone damage per level. Good if you find yourself sticking to one race of drones.
