In fleet situations, drones can be used to temporarily mimic the capabilities of specialized fleet members, particularly in the case of EWAR drones. However, this application is generally ineffective over long engagements, and EWAR drones should be replaced by specialized ships once those ships arrive. For example, in all cases where webs are being applied, once additional tackle ships are in range, webbing drones are no longer needed. Drone ships, such as the {{sh|Vexor}} and {{sh|Myrmidon}} that have large drone capacities, can deploy the specialized drones to gain a tactical advantage, and then deploy combat drones to bring addition damage to play once the target is brought under control. In small gangs, the FC will likely need a dual roll ship to apply these drones effectively. In larger fleets, smaller ships like the {{sh|Algos}} can stay at range and allow the bulk of the fleet to focus on the primary target. | In fleet situations, drones can be used to temporarily mimic the capabilities of specialized fleet members, particularly in the case of EWAR drones.

Also, unlike modules, drones can be deployed against multiple targets (e.g. three ECM drones can be applied against one {{sh|Guardian}} and two against another). Even if they are not a superior force, they can be sufficiently annoying to force an opposing fleet to use less than optimal tactics (e.g. bring an additional | Also, unlike modules, drones can be deployed against multiple targets (e.g. three ECM drones can be applied against one {{sh|Guardian}} and two against another).

The primary question the FC must answer is "do I have the capacity to bring in a dedicated support ship, such as a {{sh|Blackbird}} for ECM". If so, then the dedicated support ship will always be a superior choice. But, if the FC is forced to forgo the support ship to have sufficient DPS to be effective, these drones can provide significant capability. | The primary question the FC must answer is "do I have the capacity to bring in a dedicated support ship, such as a {{sh|Blackbird}} for ECM".
