Drones can be a valuable tool for the Newbro. If he'd rather fight from a distance he can either orbit from a distance and make sure he's trained up on the skills that make that a viable option. Another way is to train drones and have them do the shooting for you. This sounds simple enough, but there's aspects of this that make it a more lengthy route to go. However, if you're set on it, there's important things to know:
If you have an interest in drones, there's 3 four main factors to consider:
1. Factions have their own drones (for example: Hobgobblins are Gallente light drones).
2. Faction ship classes give drone bonuses, For example, the Tristan gives a 10% bonus to Drone hitpoints per level. This means that if you train 'Gallente Frigate' to V you can provide a 50% boost in your drones hitpoints.
3. There's three sizes of drones (Light, Medium, & Heavy), and
3. Specializations take a long time to complete. With these things in mind, let me break down how the Newbro should tackle Drone skills.
Just because you have acquired a new ship type (example: Gillante Cruiser), doesn't mean you should stop training the faction-class skill. Every new level provides an additional bonus imparted to your drones.
Since drone boats generally give 10% bonus per level, while you're training the faction ships up, it's crucial to also train up the 'Drone Interfacing' skill. Each level also increases drone damage by 10%. Also, skill up Drone Durability, as well as Drone Avionics, Drone Sharpshooting, and Drone Navigation. Each give 5% per level bonuses to how much damage they'll take, how far they'll roam, how far out from their target they'll start shooting, and how quickly they get to their targets, respectively.
If you decide you want to stick with Gallante drones (example: Hobgoblins, Hammerheads, and Ogres), then once you've skilled up to Drones V, train up the 'weight' of the drones (Light, Medium, & Heavy), as they give out 5% per level bonuses, and then finish up on the faction Drone Specialization.
Summary:
1. Get Drones to V.
2. On the ships you're using, get that ship up to Level III immediately and work towards V (10% per level). If for instance you are liking the Tristan, that's a Gillante frigate. So, get Gillante Frigate up to III and work towards V.
3. Work on Drone Interfacing (10% per level)
4. Get Drone Operation skills to III and work towards V. In the case of our example that would be Light Drone Operation (as Tristans accept light drones)
5. Work on Drone Navigation, Drone Avionics, and Drone Sharpshooting.
6. Work on the faction specialization. (if using Gallente drones for example, start skilling up on Gallente Drone Specialization)
