This page provides an easy-to-parse overview of the drone-using subcapital ships in EVE. Skinned, unique and very rare ships are not included in this list.
Bonuses in the table below are either single values or a range of values. Value ranges represent bonuses which are tied to the skills the pilot has trained, while single values are either role bonuses or skill bonuses where the the prerequisite level is fixed.
For example:
- When flying a Gallente Tristan frigate, your drones get a 10% bonus to hitpoints and tracking for every level of the
Gallente Frigate skill you have trained. In the table, this would be indicated as "10%-50% bonus to hitpoints and tracking" (for skill levels I to V, respectively).
- When flying a Velator, your drones get a 20% bonus to damage and hitpoints, irrespective of what skills you may have trained.
- When flying a Gallente Eos command ship, your drones get a 10% bonus to hit points and damage for every level of the
Gallente Battlecruiser skill you have trained. However, you need Gallente Battlecruiser V to even fly an Eos, so this would be indicated as "50% bonus to hit points and damage" in the table below.
As a reminder (for more details, see the Drones page):
- Light drones require 5 Mbit/s bandwidth and take up 5 m3 of dronebay space. They are most effective against frigates and destroyers.
- Medium drones require 10 Mbit/s bandwidth and take up 10 m3 of dronebay space. They are most effective against cruisers and battlecruisers.
- Heavy and sentry drones require 25 Mbit/s bandwidth and take up 25 m3 of dronebay space. They are most effective against battleships (sentry drones can also hit smaller ships, provided they are far away).
