Which is better ogres tech 2 or Garde tech 2?
What about Fighter Drones?
Should I use fighter drones on level 4 missions?

Fighter drones are launched from Carriers and since they're capital ships only allowed in low-sec, it's unlikely you'll be using those.
Due to the slow speed of Ogre IIs and the huge range that sentries have, Tech II sentries are usually the better choice.
Of course, sentries don't move, so you'll have to stay near them, or pick them up once the room is cleared.
You could also use Ogres to kill stuff closeby while you burn to the accel gate and once there, switch to sentries.

Ok.. The issue is even with maxed out skills I am just not impressed with the damage that drones do.
It seems like no matter what I train level 4s still take hrs to complete... I did some experimenting in EFT and found that with all skills at 5 heavy ships take hardly any damage from heavy drones.
I don't see why small drones do so much damage to small ships
and mediums do to medium ships... But large drones with max skills dont have enough dps to down large ships in the same reasonable time that mediums and small can kill their ship types?
Its like
Small drones kill small ships fast
medium drones kill medium ships fast
but large drones take forever to kill large ships.

HP scales faster on ships as size increases compared to drone damage.
An NPC frigate may only have like a thousand HP, but an NPC battleship may have 20 times that if not more.
Medium drones don't kill cruisers all that fast either, the only thing that really dies fast to drones are frigates.
The real power in drone boats lie in their versatility.
Drones require no powergrid, no CPU and no capacitor and if you use the right size, no tracking or signature radius issues.
You can fit a huge tank that other ships using guns or missiles may have hard time fitting or using.
In PvP you can fit a ton of electronic warfare or capacitor boosters.
If you want to boost your DPS in missions, fit some guns or launchers to augment the total damage output.

I do have guns on my ship but they are sadly.. Rails
Tech 2 Rails...
With implants Rigs and max skills what is the highest damage drones can do? IF drones alone cannot close a mission then there is no such thing as a drone boat right?

Your rigs, unless you're in a Gallente BS/variant, are meant to be either for gunnery or shield or astronautics.
If your mission set-up needs heavy and medium drones (L4), then your own Large Gun and all in the aggregate Gunnery skills/agility/power management your BS has. You would be fielding a flight of light T2 drones, a flight of medium T2 drones, and the rest of your cargo being sentry drones.
Your ship guns themselves are supposed to be, in an ideal world, the real counter to BS-sized mission targets.

Drone boats for level 4 missions are slow. That's the way it is. A domi with large guns or a rattlesnake doesn't speed it up that much.
If you want speed, don't use drone boats.
