**It is best not to blitz during war as a single miss-step easily spells disaster.

***The damsel in distress activates 19 enemies when blitzed.

*Drone Agro: There are three aspects to consider when talking about drone aggro.

**Drones can cause things to trigger prematurely if not managed correctly.

***Damsel In Distress: An accidental drone shot can spawn 6 battleships.

***Shift-Alt-R : Return to your ship and orbit.

***Shift-R: Return to your drone bay.

***F (while highlighting an enemy that is targeted): Focus Fire.

**Drones can trigger by their presence.

***Check your mission, not all missions have this issue but where they do you will need to consider your options (especially Gallente pilots).

**Drones can get agro onto themselves (potentially getting them killed)

***In the old days all that was required was for you to agro the enemy and once done you held enemy agression which in turn meant your drones were safe.

***In the current day:

****Elite Cruisers and Frigates will ALWAYS try to kill your drones.

*****Angel Viper/Webifier in AE4

****Loyd Smiths "General Rule"

*****Ships two class sizes above your drone will not target them.

******Light drones vs. BC, Med Drones vs. BS

******Non-Elites that are size appropriate tend to leave your drones alone if they are agro on you and you lock them up.

*******Thus if you lock up non-elite frigates and then use your drones they are usually safe.

*****Remember, the "General Rule" is just that. It usually follows but not universally.

*Bonus Rooms: Angel Extraveganza 4

**Few missions have them.

**THey often have lucrative advantages:

***Rare Drops

***Excellent Bounties

***Provides an extra layer of protection

****It requires a "key" to access the extra room (AE4 Angel Diamond Tag)

****Never tell anyone which mission you are flying as they will know which key to bring if they decide to come gank you (spies).

**They always have special/dangerous conditions

***It requires a "key" to access the extra room (read the mission report).

***Often many times greater than the rest of the mission.

***Damage types may be different than the rest of the mission:

****AE4 normal: Exp 64% / Kin 23% / Therm 9% / EM 4%:

****AE4 Bonus: Exp 49% / Kin 28% / Therm 15 % / EM 7%

*****Every 25 seconds 2700 spike EM damage.
