Sorry if this is covered by an earlier post. I searched but didn't see anything.
I have a Gallante Destroyer, and Lvl 4 in Drones. I should be able to control 4 drones but I can only load 1 in the Drone hold. It looks like the single Hornet Drone max's out the drone bay at 5/5.
I would appreciate some guidance. How do I load more drones / Do I need to enlarge the Drone Hold? / if I do ..how do I do it?
Any input is appreciated (well almost any )

you can't, the Drone bay is 5 cubic meters, the size of a light drone. Ergo you can fit 1 light drone and nothing more.
getting a proper drone boat that has a large drone hold, e.g. a Vexor.

To get a larger drone bay... you get a bigger ship. That's about it.

your drone bay can hold 5 m3, a small drone is 5 m3, so one will fill your drone bay.
You can't enlarge the drone bay - bigger ships will have bigger drone bays though (and within a ship class, drone bay size varies too). =AFK=

Your drone bay is only 5m3, so would certainly not fit a Templar, the Amarrian fighter drone used by carriers.

Your drone bay is only 5m3, the size of a light drone, so you can only fit 1 light drone in your destroyer's drone bay.
You will have to upgrade to a larger ship, such as a Vexor, to increase your drone bay capacity.

The destroyer is a gunboat, it's not made to use drone, you got 5m3 because it's a gallente ship and gallente ship always get (exceptions are non-combat ships like industrials and maybe one or two more) this minimum 5m3 dronebay. If you're more skilled in drones than gunnery and like using drones, you should look into those ships : ->Gallente T1 -->Frigates -Imicus (frigate with 15m3) -->Cruisers -Vexor (drone cruiser with damage bonus and 75m3 drone bay) -->Battlecruiser -Myrmidon (good tanking abilities and drone bonus, 125m3 drone bay) -->Battleship -Dominix (the only drone battleship, great tanking, drone bonus, 375m3 drone bay) ->Gallente T2 -->Assault frigate -Ishkur (drone bay is 15m3 +5m3 per level of assault ships, most pilots get 35m3 drone bay) -->Heavy assault cruiser -Ishtar (maybe the best non-capital drone ship in the game, it's a vexor with a great tank and a drone bay nearly as large as a dominix because of the ship bonus, also a control range bonus) -->Command ships -Eos (no drone damage bonus, but big drone bay bonus to act mostly as a support and combat ship, as command ships have maybe the best tanks in the game and this ship can give tons of bonus to the fleet being a fleet command ship.)
If you're looking for guns, look at those ships, but as gallente ships, they all have a drone bay making the drones a good secondary weapon.
->Gallente T1 -->Frigates -Incursus (blaster frigate) -Tristan (hybrid guns and missiles) -->Cruisers -Thorax (good hybrid gun - blasters or railguns - platform, often blasters are favored for this one) -->Battlecruiser -Brutix (good with either blasters or railguns) -->Battleship -Megathron (good with either blasters or railguns) -Hyperion (said to me more a blasterboat, but the most important is it's great repair abilities) ->Gallente T2 -->Assault frigate -Enyo (4 turret hardpoints with hybrid damage and range bonus, a fun and efficient ship) -->Heavy assault cruiser -Deimos (A great blasterboat, it's bonus are half useless with railguns) -->Command ships -Astarte (A bigger blasterboat, maybe the most hard hitting blasterboat, with greater tanking ability, can also provide some gang bonus being a field command ship) -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast !

Are you saying that my reply was of the same subject matter and content of the previous posters, only slightly altered so as to seem unique? It would also appear that many posters like to post in that manner.

One assumes that there was something subtlety wrong with the previous posts that was cleared up in each additional post and then a new, equally subtle error was again corrected. Some of us are still trying to parse the differences in order to understand how they will affect our game play.
