There are only three of them and none of them are T2. And yes, Drones are a main weapon group in this game.
I propose CCP looks at indroducing new modules afecting drone stats and releases T2 versions for the ingame ones.

I'm all for drone love. Here's some possibilities:
Drone Link Augmentor II
1 PG, 60 CPU, High slot
+25 km drone control range
Requires Scout Drone Operation V
Drone Navigation Computer II
1 PG, 40 CPU, Mid slot
+30% drone MWD speed
Requires Drone Navigation V
Omnidirectional Tracking Link II
1 PG, 45 CPU, Mid slot
+25% drone tracking and optimal range
Requires Drone Sharpshooting V
Auxiliary Control Link I
Requires 1000 PG, 40 CPU, High slot
+25 MBit/s bandwidth
Requires Advanced Drone Interfacing I
Drone Bay Expander I/II
Requires 0 PG, 0 CPU, Low slot
+20/25% drone bay capacity, -15%/-10% speed and -25%/-20% structure HP.
Requires Hull Upgrades II/IV
In-Flight Computer I/II
Requires 1 PG, 30 CPU, Low slot
+10/15% drone damage(including Fighters)
Requires Weapon Upgrades I/IV, Drone Interfacing I/IV
Support Drone Interface I/II
Requires 1 PG, 30 CPU, Low slot
+15%/+20% drone electronic warfare effectiveness
Requires EWar Drone Interfacing II/V
Warrior SW-300, Valkyrie SW-600
-10%/-20% to target's velocity
Requires EWar Drone Interfacing I/II, Propulsion Jamming III
Hobgoblin WD-300, Hammerhead WD-600, Ogre WD-900
-0.1/-0.2/-0.4 to target's warp strength(i.e., it takes 3 Ogre, 5 Hammerhead, or 10 Hobgoblin to block warp)
Requires EWar Drone Interfacing I/II/III, Propulsion Jamming III
Light/Medium/Heavy Remote Sensor Booster Drone
+10%/+25%/+50% to target's scan resolution and targeting range
Requires Repair Drone Ops I/II/III, Sensor Linking I
Light/Medium/Heavy Remote ECCM Drone
+20%/+50%/+100% to target's sensor strength
Requires Repair Drone Ops I/II/III, Electronic Warfare III
Light/Medium/Heavy Cap Transfer Drone
Drain 20/40/80 cap from you, give 25/50/100 cap to target every 5 seconds.
Requires Repair Drone Ops I/II/III, Energy Emission Systems III
Everything but the Aux Control Link should also have named versions, of course. I'm not totally convinced they're all balanced, but they are, if nothing else, germs for ideas.

I like it, but the InFlight Computer should be a midslot module.

I stuck it at low with all the other damage mods - it's the same as a BCU or heat sink. Incidentally, the reason why it's a pure damage bonus, and not damage/ROF like the other damage mods, is that apparently drone ROF adds to lag, which is why their ROFs all went from 2 seconds to 4 a few patches back. I'd prefer it to be the same numbers as the other damage mods, actually, but the difference is small enough I decided to go for the low-lag option.

Besides using 4 highs and 4 mids to entirely dedicate a ship to being a drone sniper (with low firepower) the drone modules are really not all that usefull. I think that leaves one drone module unused. that's the drone speed mod that only works on the ability of the drone to get to the target and not for it to keep up with the target. the +1 drone thing only works on carriers so it barely counts. There once was a drone mod that increased drone dammage. I'd like to see that come back but I can understand that galente ships generally have a turet bonus too. If the drone dammage thing was made a lowslot then it would interfere with the tanking ability and the ability to put magstabs in. Kind of like the minmitar problem with dual weapon systems. I think that's pretty workable.

Don't make another post when you forget support, go back and edit the first one. Less spammy, and a higher support ratio too.

I'd love to see more drone varieties.
for example a drone which does the same damage and ecm as a small drone and requires 25 bandwidth. Or perhaps a faster ogre which uses 30 bandwidth.
Overall once you get drone interfacing V, heavy drones V, and BS V your drones are maxed. there is no way to increase your damage any more.
