'''Basic skills:'''<br>
* {{sk|Drones|mult=yes|price=yes}}: Allows you to operate 1 drone per level (up to 5 at level V). This is the foundation skill of any drone pilot, should be trained to at least level III as a top priority, and to level V soon after (at latest when you start flying ships with 25m<sup>3</sup> drone bays or larger).

=== Combat drones ===
'''Combat drone skills:'''<br>
These skills allow you to use light, medium, heavy, and sentry combat drones, respectively. Level V is needed for Tech 2 and 'Augmented' drones; all others only need level I. Additionally, these skills increase the damage of their respective drone group by 5% per level. Note that you don't need any skills to load drones into your drone bay; you only need the skills to launch and control them.

=== Improved drone performance ===
'''Improved drone performance skills:'''<br>
These are the "drone support skills", which improve the performance of your drones. Nearly every skill requires {{sk|Drones|icon=yes}} to level IV or V.

* {{sk|Drone Interfacing|mult=yes|price=yes}}: Increases your drones' damage (and mining yield for mining drones) by 10% per level. Train this to level IV quickly to make your drones much more effective (level IV is the equivalent of having two extra drones in space); the long train to level V is worth it if you're specializing in drones, or as a prerequisite for capital ship drones.

* {{sk|Drone Navigation|mult=yes|price=yes}}: Increases your drone's microwarpdrive speed by 5% per level, and allows you to use Drone Navigation Computer modules (which increase it even further). This skill is very important for users of heavy drones (and of no small benefit to light and medium drones).

=== Racial drone specialization ===
'''Racial drone specialization:'''<br>
These skills are requires to use each faction's Tech 2 and 'Augmented' drones. Additionally, they increase the damage of these drones (but not other drone types) by 2% per level. These skillbooks come from LP stores and therefore vary in price; they require {{sk|Drones|V|icon=yes}}.

=== Capital ===
These skills are necessary for capital ship pilots who want to use drones; they all require {{sk|Drone Interfacing|V|icon=yes}}. <!-- 
* {{sk|Advanced Drone Interfacing|mult=yes|price=yes}}: Allows you to fit one Drone Control Unit module per skill level (up to 5 at level V). Each DCU (which can only be used on capital ships) allows you to control an additional drone.
* {{sk|Fighters|mult=yes|price=yes}}: Unlocks fighter drones, and increases their damage by 20% per skill level.
* {{sk|Fighter Bombers|mult=yes|price=yes}}: Unlocks fighter-bomber drones, and increases their damage by 20% per skill level. Requires {{sk|Fighters|V}}. -->
