I just got the storyline mission Patient Zero. In it, there is some AE damage that goes off periodically attacking my ship and my drones. This is a problem in that, at this point in my career, I rely on drones exclusively for my damage. I can tank the mission forever, but my drones pop and I can't kill the rats. I'm trying to figure out a technique to get me through the mission. Some random concepts I've had:
1) Fit small hybrids, which is all I can fit, and just try to gnaw my way through the missions slowly. I don't think that this would break the tank of most of the rat BS though.
2) I have an industrialist alt that can fly a caldari cruiser, perhaps him + option 1 would be enough DPS.
3) Fit remote reppers and sentry drones and try to keep the drones up that way
4) Try to time when the AE damage goes off and pull sentry drones into my drone bay before it goes off...
Any suggestions?

#4 is never going to work. AoE damage is every 10 seconds. If they can survive a couple hits you may eventually get through it, but I doubt it.
There is a total of 12 battleships, plus Patient Zero (and a small handful of others). Patient Zero alone took me quite a with 7 cruise missile launchers.
I would quit the mission if I was you.

Just do basic gunnery skills. Gunnery is the only level 5 skill you'll need and only if you are using a dominix and want large hybrids - med hybrids have tiny pre-reqs, and you might have gunnery 5 already. All the other support skills can be level 2 or 3. Its a lot more dps per hour of training for a mission running drone boat, than the 18 day level 5 drone skills are. 5x350s on a dominix will crack most rat BS tanks with level 3 skills.
