Drones: Difference between revisions

! colspan=2 | Empire factions  

|-  

| style="vertical-align: top;" |  The '''Gallente''' have some of the most powerful drone-using ships among the empire factions;  nearly all their combat ships can field drones, with generous drone bays and bandwidths. About half of their ships are heavily focused on drone use, with bonuses to drone damage, hit points, range, tracking speed, and speed.   

|-  

| style="vertical-align: top;" |  The '''Amarr''' are the other drone-using empire faction, although they are less focused on them than the Gallente. They tend to have somewhat lower drone bandwidths than the Gallente, but with large drone bays, allowing them to carry a wide variety of drones into combat.

| style="vertical-align: top;" |  The '''Guristas''' have a very particular way of using drones: their ships can field only two drones of the appropriate size at a time, but each drone is many times stronger than normal. While their drones' total damage output remains comparable to other top-tier drone boats, Guristas drones are much tougher, which gives them an edge in PvP.  

|-

| style="vertical-align: top;" |  The '''Sisters of EVE''' ships have high drone bandwidths and truly enormous drone bays (even larger than the Gallente), as well as bonuses to drone damage and hit points.

Combat drones come in four types:  

* Use 5 m³ space and 5 Mbit/sec bandwidth

* Move and track targets very quickly

* Use 10 m³ space and 10 Mbit/sec bandwidth

* Move and track moderately quickly

* Use 25 m³ space and 25 Mbit/sec bandwidth

* Move and track slowly, but do lots of damage

* Use 25 m³ space and 25 Mbit/sec bandwidth

* Do not move in space

* Can hit targets at long ranges, but have poor tracking, and so will have difficulty against close or fast targets

Each race has its own light, medium, heavy, and sentry drones, and they each do one [[NPC Damage Types|damage type]] (for instance, all Amarr drones do EM damage, while all Caldari drones do kinetic damage).

|Gecko <ref name="Gecko">The Gecko is a cross between a heavy and a fighter drone, which was given out for free to every pilot before the Kronos expansion. It can be flown by subcapital ships, but requires 50 Mbit/s of bandwidth (twice as much as a heavy drone) and deals omni-damage (ie its damage is split equally between the four damage types). It requires the same skills to fly as a Tech 1 heavy drone, and there are no Tech 2 or other variants of it.</ref>
