Been away for a year or so and drones seem to have changed. I can now only launch 4 scout or 3 heavy/sentry drones from my CNR. All my drone skills are maxed and I don't see any new upgrades to increase the number launched (other than for carriers). I gather CCP nerfed drones. Is there anything I can do to get more drones out? |

Raven has 50 bandwidth, which means you can launch 5 lights (25mbit) , 5 mediums (50mbit) or 2 heavy/sentry drones (50mbit). Make sure you are not mixing drone types (combat and ECM for example). |

No, I am launching all drones the same type. I've tried both lights and mediums. For lights only 4 launch as a group and the 5th won't launch individually. For mediums, only 3 launch and I can't launch the other 2 individually.

You're doing something wrong. Can't tell you what unless you want to record yourself launching these things. |

Fine. But I've been running L4s for a decade and I am doing everything the same as I did before I took a year's break...
open CNR drone bay (10 scouts in it) right click bay select launch drones from menu 4 scouts launch right click drone in bay select launch from menu nothing happens. OR right click bay again select launch drones from menu nothing happens.
I looked in the configuration options (ESC) but I didn't see any magic option that limits the number of active drones. I haven't touched the fitting since it was working fine a year ago.
I guess it is time to put in a petition.

Check that your "Drone" skill is at 5. If it is at 4, you can only control 4 drones.

Alas, no, that's not the problem. All my drone skills are at 5. (Also, I was launching 5 before.)

They added a light drone skill and a medium drone skill in the most recent update, maybe it's that? Cedric

We need to see an eveboard link and a screenshot of the fit and drone bay. |

I don't have those, but they only add damage. I have Drones 5, which is supposed to allow one drone per level.

If you have T2 drones you need the racial skills to launch them. Double-check that this is not the case. |

Yes, I'm using T2 drones. They are launching; just not enough of them. I've been using T2s for years without any launching problems. (I don't have the two new skills for light and heavy yet, but those are damage skills. Other than those I have every drone skill at L5.)

Clear cache, restart client, and try again. If it still happens fraps it and upload it. |

That's probably a good idea. However, I have been away too long and don't remember any of that stuff. I am reluctant to screw around lest I trash my client. So could you be a bit more specific about how to go about that. (I promise I'll write it down this time. )

Clearing cache should not have any bad consequences. In game, hit esc to bring up the options, I forgot which tab it's under and not at my home computer but just look through them. It is a button if that helps. |

That doesn't seem to be the case. The four (of five) light drones that launch or the three (of five) heavies all work fine as far as targeting and shooting is concerned.
I don't think is would be a real good idea for CCP to add new skills that would negate an existing investment of 16m SPs in drones.

Not to sound like I'm beating a dead horse, but have you actually verified in-game that you have Drones V? A common reason for taking a break is getting podded and if your clone was insufficient, you lose skillpoints. I doubt that you'd lose it from such a low-ranked skill, but you never know.
Other than that, clear your cache. If that doesn't do it, submit a bug report. Reading Comprehension: a skill so important it deserves it's own skillbook.

Last time I flew a CNR it had 100m3 Drone Bay and 75MBit bandwidth, allowing for a flight of lights and three heavies/sentries in the bay and three heavies/sentries or a full flight of lights/meds on the field. This may have changed (as so many things have) and in amonst the rest I haven't noticed but...
One possibility which occurs to me; if one of your lights was damaged at some point, if there is a transition moment where your drone durability skill will not apply it's possible that EVE won't allow you to launch a drone which is too badly damaged to survive the process - that may mean an easy fix by just going to the repairshop.
If that's not it then I'd suggest emptying your drone bay, adding in a brand-new stack of 5 T1 lights (which are cheap if nothing else) and just testing with those, with all of them in a stack it should be clear whether one has actually launched without your client properly displaying it. Pay particular attention to the log output when you attempt to launch - if it isn't launching then it may well tell you why there.
I would also suggest that you clear your cache, which should not be a traumatic experience, it's probably worth doing even if you didn't have this issue... |

You need the light drone operation at 5 and Medium drone operation at 5 to use T2 light and med drones. The specialization has changed too, you need only lvl1 to fly light, med and heavy drones.
I m affraid you need to train them both :/ |

No, it's working fine now without those skills. It seems to be a display problem. The problem is the way I launched them. I right clicked the top of the bay and got the menu where I selected 'launch drones' When I do that, only four T2 drones show up in the 'in space' display. But if I count them in the tactical display five actually launched. However, when I select them within the drone bay frame via shift-click, they all show correctly as launched in the 'in space' frame.
I guess I'll have to file a bug report on the display. No doubt the BH will provide the usual 'working as designed' reply.

Maybe try adding them to drone groups, so you can right-click the group name and manage them all that way? |

you need combat drone operation (recently split into light drone operation and medium) in order to launch them.
same goes for heavies.
be sure to click the information for the drones you are trying to use and that you have all required skills |

I know they changed the bandwidth & drone bay sizes in the BC rebalance (In 2013?) |
