Thinking of maxing out most of the drone skills to 5. Just wondering how effective they are against larger ships? My long term goal is to eventually fly a Carrier or Super Carrier, do drone skills apply to Fighters and Fighter Bombers? Any info would be appreciated :) Thanks!

AFAIK yes. From the wiki entry: "Fighter drones are an enhanced form of combat drones. In addition to the basic behaviour[SIC] this gives them, they can also operate independently of their ownerĘs ship with several new abilities."
AFAIK the Fighter/Bomber is an even more heavy one intended to be used by "Motherships" --

I'd say, as Minmatar your Turrets are more efefctive in PvE, most certainly so in PvP.
If you're going the capital road, your efforts are not wasted, however. So, go with it.

If you plan on flying any ship larger than frigate, drones are essential.

If you intend on going drones, start flying galente ships, they have the best drone ships as almost ALL of their ships are drone boats. also the domi can get 2k dps tank, and can put out about 566 dps with drones alone. they also make good fleet support ships with repair drone blobs Star Light Star bright, The first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight.

Note that drone skills don't have affect on the fighters only regular drones.
Fighters are affected by the following skills: Drones: +1 controlled per level Carrier skills: +1/+3 per level (carrier/mom), and +5% damage/level from Nyx and Thanatos; bonus affect drones as well. Fighters: +20% damage/level.
Carriers can also use Drone Control units to control one more per unit.

Other than needing Drone interfacing V(which doesn't give bonus to fighters) to fly carriers, The only skills that affects fighter behavior is the "Fighters" skill(20% bonus damage per lvl) and the racial carrier skill(1 extra fighter per level for standard carrier, and for Gallente 5% fighter damage per level).

Meh, not really, only for battleships and I guess long range medium turrets. My medium ACs kill (elite) frigs just fine, I hardly ever use drones in my L3 missions.

So do FoF missiles!

FoF missiles have limited use, also, they are ammo, and drones don't use ammo so no reloading Star Light Star bright, The first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight. I wish for chocolate! |
