Hey I'm looking for some experts in the area of drones that could give me some advice on how to be effective with them. I'm currently flying a domi and training up Heavy Drones V. I have most of the basics down but I would really like advice on some of the advanced tactics. Thanks in advance for any help!

+Combat drone operation 4 or 5
+EWar drone operation 4
+Drone sharpshootin 4/5
+Drone navigation 4/5
Note: Train Sharpshooting to lvl 5 before you do nav to lv 5 that means they hit better before they get too fast for their own tracking.
And dont forget to get Gallente BS 5 asap to make your Domi even scarier.

Get the big guys in drones to 5.
IF you're in a drone ship, try to always use heavies. Their damage over a medium is over 2x greater. In a myrmidon, you really need 5 heavies, even though its my impulse to use 3 heavies and a bunch of spare mediums. The damage difference is pretty large.
Click, 'engage target' a couple times to ensure your drones are moving towards thier target. Goes double for NPC'ing, dont want them wandering off.
Gallente drones have the highest damage mod, but thermal damage is meh. Its a decent damage type, but I almost reflexively go for minmtar, despite the fact that everyone tanks for Exp. But, therm is a sneaky damage type, and may be ignored by most.
If you're doing a mission with drones or 00 ratting, make sure that you're collecting the loot as your drones are ahead killing things. Tractor beams speed this up quite a bit.
You can use your drones to tank a little, but only if you got mad skillz. The second you start a mission or warp to an active belt, you can pop your drones out. As the ships start to shoot at them, recycle them out of your drone bay (call them back) so that the NPCs are forced to reacquire a target...which could take a while with a BS's scan resolution.
Try to invent a trick that wil remind you to scoop your drones up before you leave an area. Its painful to forget 5x t2 heavies in a belt.
