Hello!

I have a Tormentor and the skill drones to 3, but the max number of drones (Hobgoblins) are two.

Is there something that I am missing? *blush*

In addition to skills, it's also determined by the ship attributes Drone Capacity (how many cubic meters of drone your drone bay can fit) and Drone Bandwidth (how much drone your ship can deal with in flight). I'm guessing the Tormentor is limited to 10 in either of those attributes ( a Hobgoblin is 5 m3, and requires the same in bandwidth).

Tormentor can support 2 light drones. Crucifer and Magnate have larger drone bays 45m3 and 40m3 respectively and enough bandwidth to support 3 drones in space

The Dragoon destroyer is a monster drone boat with 75m3 capacity and bandwidth for a full flight of 5 light drones. It also offers a substantial bonus to damage and hitpoints for the drones.

Otherwise you can cross train for Gallente. The Tristan frigate and Algos destroyer are superb drone platforms.
