I'm in a Retriever now and bough 4 light drones just for some protection (didn't cost much so I don't mind). I can only have 1/4 go out and fly around my barge protecting me. How can I increase this number to 4 or 5?

Thanks in advance! :)

You need to raise your "Drones" skill to level 5 to use five, which is the maximum. These kind of questions are really probably better for the help channel in-game. Asking in your NPC corp channel also works well, there are usually people willing to help. Posting on the forums probably isn't the best way of going about this.

Actually, you can post questions, like yours, in "EVE New Citizens Q&A" forum. It's the one above Grizzly Destruction, I mean General Discussion.

OP, seriously, join a corp that's willing to help new-comers. You will learn a lot more, a lot quicker in a decent corp.
