The problem is he may be afk while mining, so cant launch drones as and when he needs them.

Of course, the solution is to NOT go afk. Eve is a non-afk game im afraid, even travelling afk through high sec isnt safe any more!


Thing is he apparently doesnt need them

The real question is, if you can tank the rats, just leave the drones in the bay. When you come back from AFK you can deploy and kill if you want to.


That was my next suggestion. If you can perma-tank rats then just go afk and worry about them when you come back. Or dont ever worry about them.

But what are those rigs and modules called? And can they be fit on an Exhumer?


Drone Durability Enhancers, Omnidirectional Tracking Links, and Drone Damage Amplifiers respectively. They are all CPU-limited (or limiting in the case of the rig) so whether you can fit them largely depends on the rest of your fit and your skills (Drone Rigging in particular).

Learn2Market

Search for "drone" and see what comes up?

Maybe start in the section called "Drone Upgrades"?
