Lately I've decided to train up some drone skills in an attempt to make a few things more efficient.
While the Drones skill was training up, I decided to play around with some basic, cheap drones, like the Acolyte I.
When I look at the Drones skill information page, it lists the Acolyte I as a drone that can be operated with Drones trained to level 1.
However, when I look at the Requirements Tab from the information screen of the Acolyte I, it says I need the following:
Drones Level 1 (I have that) Light Drone Operation Level 1 (I don't have that) Drones Level 3 (I don't have that) I guess Light Drone Operation Level 1 requires Drones Level 3.
I take it that I need to train everything on the Acolyte I information screen, and that supersedes the information in the Drones skill information screen. Is that correct in general?
Are there any drones that can be used with Drones trained to below level 3? |

The information in the Drones skill information screen tells you that Drones level 1 is a prerequisite for the Acolyte. This does not guarantee that it's the only prerequisite. As you discovered, the Acolyte also requires Light Drone Operations. To know all the prerequisites for an item, you have to look at the info of the item.
There is no drone that only requires Drones level 1. The least requirements are for mining drones, which require Drones level 1 and Mining Drones level 1. But combat drones require at least Drones level 3.
Also, if you only have trained Drones level 1, you can only use one drone at a time and that's not all that useful. Drones is one of the skill you want to train to 5 rather sooner than later, if you want to use them as your primary weapon. Having 5 drones is pretty much required to do a reasonable amount of damage. |

When Im planning to use something, I usually open up the market window, browse or search the name, then show info >prerequisites. This is the only skill list that I will need to be able to use an item. |

The market window now has a nice icon (a small skillbook) that tells you if you if you can use the item (and others indicate if it will fit on your current ship). Green = can use.
Note that T2 ship skills don't allow you to pilot any T2 ship. You also need another ship skill, which depends on the ship. |

If you can't spare the couple of hours training time to get drones 3, then they're not for you. You'll need a few million SP in them to get them more effective than orbiting decorations.
EVE is a game of patience.
Download Evemon (Google it) and think six months ahead. Try a few sample skill plans and find one that suits where you feel you'd like to be in the near future.
Take your time and don't despair because your SP isn't piling up as fast as you want. Every one of the other 300,000 people playing have the same limitations.
