Hi guys,
this might be a simple question but we are in a complete stucked discussion about this issue:
Are Fighters and Fighter Bombers drones and the question behind that: Are fighters and bombers affected by the drone skills like durability, speed and so on. Furthermore - what about items like drone link augmentor or navigation computers...do they have any impact on fighters?
One might think - of course - fighters are drones but we made different tests and none of it prooved it. From my point of view: Fighters are NO drones and they are not affected by any other skill than fighter skill itself nor are they affected by any item. DCU of course but thats different.
Anyone got the all over answer to this?

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are droned in some regards, but none of the non-fighter specific skills apply. Some claim it is because they are manned unlike drones, which also proves they're not drones in other perspectives.

And you're absolutely correct as drones aren't fighters; which in game lore we're largely replaced by a frigate class vessels and drones in gallente-caldari war.
As it is no skills effect fighters except 'fighters' and 'gallente carrier' (Thanatos/Nyx ship bonus); same goes for 'drone modules' and rigs.

They are drones, but they are so different they are not worth even thinking about if you are not contemplating a carrier.

rgr guys, thx for the answers.
So I was right then - fighters are NO drones. NO skill and NO item effects fighters except the fighter and carrier skill...
I think CCP should clarify this in any way ingame (description and such) !!

For the future, if you want to know which skills affect a certain thing, right click on it in EFT and you will see a list of affecting skills. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless something - a skill, a module, a ship bonus, etc. - specifically mentions it affects fighters/FBs, it doesn't. ---

If you go to 'show info' and look at the fighters and bombers you can see the pilots. Just my 2 isk.

Erm... they ARE drones.
As much drone as ECM drones are. They just require different skills

No not really they're just handled through drone interface, since there isn't any other way, but they aren't really drones. They don't even attack automatically, you have to give them a direct order each time to engage a next target.

They are, you can't assign fighters to a ship in space if they already have fighters/other drones deployed.
They are drones, they just have different attributes.

Not true, however they are as buggy as drones and sometimes forget to attack.
Tested a few hours ago with Sleepers.

Thats because they attack when being shot, with normal rats nothing happens unlike with drones. But for the sake of an argument fighters are non-drones (though operated like drones) and therefore unaffected by drone skills.
