* The commands "All Drones: Engage", "All Drones: Return & Orbit" and "All Drones: Return & Dock" can be assigned to hotkeys.

* In your drone window in the overview, don't forget to keep the tab under "Drones in Space" open, so you can moniter your drones health and call them in in case they are attacked. This is especially important if you are using Tech 2 drones, as they are expensive to lose.

* Gallente drones will even outdamage other drones vs ~~npcs~~ with ~~vulnerbilities against the~~ other damage types~~. The gallente got that high a base damage that it hardly matters~~.

* Gallente drones (which do thermal damage) will even outdamage other drones vs NPCs with weaknesses to other damage types.

* Minmatar drones are a good option in pvp, since they are fast and can catch the enemy. Especially true for ~~warriors~~ vs interceptors and ~~valkyries~~ vs. frigates in general.

* When fighting larger/slower ~~ships~~ you can use a fast drone to speed tank. Just send it in first before the enemy engages you and you're good to go! Be warned, if there are multiple enemies, the drone's transversal velocity may not be high to some of the ships it is not orbiting and may die a fast death...

* Drone shields do not instantly regenerate when they dock to your ship.

* You cannot see your drones health whilst docked in your drone bay. Make a mental note about how long you should leave a drones shield to recharge if damaged.

* Recall your drones before warping. But, if you forget to recall, return to the original spot and they'll be sitting there ~~not under control~~. You can scoop them to your cargo bay if you get within 2500m. You cannot tractor beam drones.
