Overview

See also: Drone skills

Some training in the Drones category is essential for most PvE and PvP combat. Drones are a useful source of additional DPS, and they are also a key defence against small ships for large ships.

Almost every ship larger than a destroyer has a dronebay. Caldari ships tend to have the smallest dronebays, but even Caldari pilots should aim to be able to field a full flight of five light drones when they start flying battlecruisers.

Memory and perception are important in learning how to operate drones.

The following are the skills in the Drones section (in alphabetical order):

Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Tech 1, 'Integrated', and Empire Faction Heavy Drones; Gecko
Icon skillbook2.png V required for: Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Heavy Drones
Notes.png Notes: Not all races have subcapital ships with big enough dronebays to justify using heavy drones, but Gallente battleship pilots, Amarr pilots who fly the Armageddon and Minmatar pilots who fly the Typhoon should train for them.



Icon skillbook2.png Sentry Drone Interfacing

Skill at controlling sentry drones. 5% bonus to Sentry Drone damage per level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 5x
Isk.png Price: 650k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drone Interfacing IV; Drone Sharpshooting IV
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Tech 1 and Faction Sentry Drones
Icon skillbook2.png V required for: Tech 2 Sentry Drones
Notes.png Notes: Sentry drones are specialised, and large, and so like heavy drones they're mostly of interest to pilots who can fly ships with 125m3 or more of space in their dronebay. Level V lets you use T2 sentry drones.



Icon skillbook2.png Advanced Drone Avionics

This skill is required for the operation of Electronic Darfare Drones but also gives a bonus to the control range of all drones.


3,000m bonus drone control range per level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 5x
Isk.png Price: 600k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drones V; Electronic Warfare IV
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Small EWAR Drones
Icon skillbook2.png II required for: Medium EWAR Drones
Icon skillbook2.png III required for: Large EWAR Dones
Notes.png Notes: The drone control range bonus applies to all types of drones, not just electronic warfare drones. ECM drones are a useful ace-in-the-hole in PvP.


Racial Drone Specializations

Icon skillbook2.png Amarr Drone Specialization

Specialization in the operation of advanced Amarr drones. 2% bonus to advanced Amarr drone damage per level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 5x
Isk.png Price: 2-4M ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: II
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drones V
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Amarr Drones
Notes.png Notes: This skill is not seeded in NPC stations so prices will vary widely.



Icon skillbook2.png Caldari Drone Specialization

Specialization in the operation of advanced Caldari drones. 2% bonus to advanced Caldari drone damage per level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 5x
Isk.png Price: 3-9M ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: II
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drones V
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Caldari Drones
Notes.png Notes: This skill is not seeded in NPC stations so prices will vary widely.



Icon skillbook2.png Gallente Drone Specialization

Specialization in the operation of advanced Gallente drones. 2% bonus to advanced Gallente drone damage per level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 5x
Isk.png Price: 3-9M ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: II
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drones V
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Gallente Drones
Notes.png Notes: This skill is not seeded in NPC stations so prices will vary widely. Gallente drones are very popular because they have good damage modifiers, and a damage type (thermal) which is reliably useful against most PvE and PvP enemies.



Icon skillbook2.png Minmatar Drone Specialization

Specialization in the operation of advanced Minmatar drones. 2% bonus to advanced Minmatar drone damage per level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 5x
Isk.png Price: 3-9M ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: II
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drones V
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Tech 2 and 'Augmented' Minmatar Drones
Notes.png Notes: This skill is not seeded in NPC stations so prices will vary widely. Minmatar drones are very popular for PvP because they are the fastest drones and although they don't do as much raw damage as Gallente drones they do explosive damage, which hits most armor tanks hard.


Drone Support Skills

Icon skillbook2.png Drone Avionics

Skill at control range for all drones.


Bonus: drone control range increased by 5000 meters per skill level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 1x
Isk.png Price: 60k ISK

Icon skillbook2.png III required for: Tech 1 and Officer Drone Link Augmentors
Icon skillbook2.png IV required for: Black Eagle Drone Link Augmentor
Icon skillbook2.png V required for: Drone Link Augmentor II
Notes.png Notes: A useful skill to allow drones to attack targets farther from your ship.



Icon skillbook2.png Drone Durability

Increases drone hit points. 5% bonus to drone shield, armor and hull hit points per level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 5x
Isk.png Price: 100k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: IV
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drones IV
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Icon skillbook2.png Repair Drone Operation
Notes.png Notes: Increasing drone hit points decreases the chance of losing drones, and thus saves money by reducing the number of drones you need to replace.



Icon skillbook2.png Drone Interfacing

Allows a captain to better maintain its drones. 10% bonus to drone damage, drone mining yield per level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 5x
Isk.png Price: 750k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: III
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drone Interfacing V
Icon skillbook2.png IV required for: Icon skillbook2.png Sentry Drone Interfacing
Icon skillbook2.png V required for: Icon skillbook2.png Fighters; Icon skillbook2.png Amarr Carrier; Icon skillbook2.png Caldari Carrier; Icon skillbook2.png Gallente Carrier; Icon skillbook2.png Minmatar Carrier
Notes.png Notes: Each level of Drone Interfacing is like having half of another drone. Excellent support skill.



Icon skillbook2.png Drone Navigation

Skill at controlling drones at high speeds. 5% increase in drone MicroWarpdrive speed per level.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 1x
Isk.png Price: 100k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: IV
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drones IV
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Warrior SW-300
Icon skillbook2.png II required for: Valkyrie SW-600
Icon skillbook2.png III required for: Tech 1 and Faction Drone Navigation Computers; Berserker SW-900
Icon skillbook2.png V required for: Drone Navigation Computer II
Notes.png Notes: Faster drones means they get to the target and deal damage, and then return to you when you need them back, quicker. High levels in Drone Navigation also help your drones chase fast PvP targets like interceptors.



Icon skillbook2.png Drone Sharpshooting

Increases drone optimal range.
Implants.png Attributes: Memory.pngPerception.png
Multiplier.png Multiplier: 1x
Isk.png Price: 150k ISK
Alpha.png Alpha max level: IV
Icon skillbook2.png Prerequisites: Drones V
Icon skillbook2.png I required for: Tech 1 Omnidirectional Tracking Links/Enhancers
Icon skillbook2.png IV required for: Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer II; Icon skillbook2.png Sentry Drone Interfacing
Icon skillbook2.png V required for: Omnidirectional Tracking Link II
Notes.png Notes: 5% optimal range per level. Possibly not so important for normal combat drones, which can move around on their own. If you rely on long-ranged, stationary sentry drones then this skill will help them.
