Tutorial - New Player Experience - until Aug 2018

This page provides an easy-to-parse overview of the drone-using ships in EVE.

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 an Eos, 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.
