Salvage Drones give you the ability to salvage wrecks without the use of a salvager taking up a high slot. While mining barges have small drone bays only allowing a few small drones, these are usually not recommended unless you have dedicated DPS to take care of rats. While they are not very useful with non-mining ships, they do allow mining ships to fill their hold quicker, increasing the ISK/hour rate. Mining Drones offer you the ability to mine without having to have an actual mining ship. Like all other drones, they offer more power as the size goes up, and the speed goes down respectively. Since Rubicon 1.3 you can now get drones for all types of HP, shield, armor, hull. Logistic Drones are a great way to offer logistics without an actual logistics ship, or offer even more reps when using a logi. While more drones allow more rolls, the actual chance is not increased without using a larger drone. Unfortunately the ECM is not a combined use, each drone basically "rolls" to see if the ECM works individually. Out of all of these, the EC is probably the most used especially in logistic ships. These include Track Disruption (TD), Target Painter (TP), Sensor Dampener (SD), and ECM (EC). Each size does a bit more of it's role as the size goes up as you'll see later on.Įlectronic Warfare Drones are the drones offering the other great utilities you would want in a drone. 300 is "small/light size", 600 is "medium/cruiser size", and 900 "large/heavy size". Each size of these drones is given in the name of the drone. The SW drones are great drones to have in a drone-based cruiser or battleship, as they can slow down anything to make it much easier to hit. While the EV drones are not "Vampires" and actually neutralizing drones, they still prove to be useful.
These are great for absolutely everything, and extremely beneficial when running missions.Ĭombat Utility Drones consist of Stasis Webifier drones (SW), and Energy Vampire (EV) drones. While these drones are not exactly "tanky", and they don't move at all, they can be deadly when used by a seasoned pilot. Sentry Drones are the most addictive drones as soon as you can use T2 sentries, you will never want to use anything else as they offer volley damage comparative to turret volleys. These are the ones you want to use if they don't have to leave anytime soon. In hindsight they are also the slowest drones, taking a lot of time to reach targets far away. These drones are probably the most underused drones, but some of the most powerful drones with a lot of HP. Heavy Combat Drones are used against slow ships offering large amounts of DPS. When ratting, these are some of the best for almost any NPC aside from frigates. These are great when used with drone-based ships and fighting against cruisers and combined gun/drone DPS against battleships. Medium Scout Drones are the cruisers of drones, offering more DPS with slower travel times, and a mid-ranged tank. These are absolutely great for just about everything, but provide the smallest amount of DPS out of all the drones. Light Scout Drones are your "bread n' butter" offering easy long-ranged damage, while being able to track even the fastest of ships.
#Eve dmg types how to#
Starting out it is good to know what each drone's role is, and knowing how to utilize the power they offer. NOTE: Since Kronos, the base damage has been raised, but the stats are mostly the same. In this article I'll go over the different types of drones, their damage types, and their strengths and weaknesses. It's easy to continue leveling your guns, and simply ignore the drones due to long training times, but as you progress you find yourself needing them more and more. One thing I never took advantage of in EVE was the overall power of drones.
