'''Drones in Space'''

If you undock with drones in your dronebay you will see a new window for controlling drones appear on your screen. You can launch them by right-clicking on them in this window and selecting the launch option, or by selecting them in this window and then clicking the launch button in the selected item window.

You can launch them by right-clicking on them in this window and selecting the launch option, or by selecting them in this window and then clicking the launch button in the selected item window.

You may only have a maximum of five drones in space at once -- one for every level you have trained in the [[Skills:Drones#Drones|Drones]] skill -- even if you can carry more in your dronebay. (The three exceptions to this limit are [[Capital_Ship#Carriers|carriers]], [[Capital_Ship#Supercarriers|supercarriers]] and the rare [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Guardian-Vexor Guardian-Vexor].<ref> [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Drones Drones, EveOnline Wiki]</ref>)

Right-clicking in the drone control window on the drones you have in space lets you order them to attack your selected target, or to return and orbit you, or to return and dock with you and return to the dronebay. There is usually a short lag period before they actually perform your orders.

By default your drones are set to behave aggressively, which means they will attack anything hostile to you within their range. In the drone settings window, which you can access from the white triangle at the top left of the drone control window, you can set them to behave passively instead, which will make them simply orbit you until you order them to attack something.

There's much more to be said about the use of drones, some of which is covered below, but if you've read the above you should know the basics required to load and deploy drones in Eve.
