These drones are particularly effective against structures and distant targets
Sentry Drones - Sentry drones are long range drones that do not orbit a target. They stay stationary and fire aion kinah at the target from a distance. These drones are particularly effective against structures and distant targets.
Fighters - Fighters are like drones except bigger and not robotic. They are single-manned fighters deployed from carriers and mother-ships. They have the power of a large frigate, or a small cruiser, and are a formidable force when swarming a battleship.
They can be assigned to gang members, and can even follow them in warp. Note that drone-specific skills do not affect fighters, as they're flown by human pilots, not directly controlled by the host ship.
Electronic Warfare Drones - These specialized drones provide additional EW capabilities at the cost of the drone damage.
Each race's drone inherits the specialty EW capabilities of that race: Tracking Disruption (Amarr), ECM (Caldari), Sensor Dampening (Gallente), and Target Painting (Minmatar). See the tables below for additional information.
The safest locations in low security space are in the middle of nowhere. If all gates are being monitored and there are no Stations with Sentry guns to retreat to, bookmark a few locations while in warp, and then warp back to one of your bookmarks.
