Yes currently the modules take 75k power grid (Carriers have about 600k grid) Its so they can use extra fighters (they can all carry quite a few more than they can use at one time) . ----- Apologies for any rambling that may have just occurred.

Just a guess, but probably because its the test server and that means Work-in-Progress =P

That skill has an accurate description.
That skill allows you to use one drone control unit per lvl of the skill.
That means at lvl 1 you can install 1 drone control unit and at lvl 5 you can install 5 Drone Control units on your ship (assuming it has the ability to fit it)
A Drone Control Unit is a High slot module that requires 75000 powergrid and allows the ship to launch one more drone than normal (thus allowing a carrier to reach a max of 15 fighters assuming lvl 5 carrier skill and 5 Drone Control Units).
Originally the Drone control unit had a lower fitting requirement. People used them on Dominix and other ships with large drone bays. With those units in place, they were way overpowered and thus the fitting requirement was changed to needing 75000 powergrid each drone control unit. To give you an Idea, image a Domi with RMR changes. With full skills it launches 5 drones that do just as much damage as 15 drones did before patch. Now imagine that dominix with 5 Drone Control Units in high slots (this is before powergrid change). You now have a Dominix that can launch 10 drones that do the damage of 30 pre-patch drones. Sound a little overpowered? No imagine those drones with all their hitpoint changes. I read that the dev test of the drones had the drones kill a tanked apoc before the apoc could kill the dominix or the drones (apoc had 2 large smartbombs fit in highs to combat the drones). Of course the drones did get down to structure before that apoc died but i did not see any mention of any of the drones actually dying.
