Any regular remote rep works. If it works on ships, it works on drones.

You can also have 1 RR drone launched, and target your other drones, then assign the rep drone to them.


Edit: Drones repair their own shields in time. So you would generally fit a Remote Armor Repair.
It is not a common fit to use for drones only..

Back in the day they used to repair over time in your dronebay IIRC.

It is a change I'd personally like to see reverted because I hate the daft turnover of drones (as a Gallente pvper) I go through by people now solely targetting drones, mission rat focus and having them left on the field if you have to warp out. No other weapon system punishes you with recurring costs like drones - but now I'm ranting.

Yes, fit armour and hull repairs on your ships.

Every other weapon system has recurring costs....called ammo....so stop crying about repairing/replacing drones if you're too slow

Ammo doesn't move at a very slugish speed, can be shot out of the sky before it applies any damage, and cost 600k for each bullet.

Did I mention that you are severely limited in how many drones you can hold?

what? how about AMMUNITION on other weapons? THe same ammo that you do not spend on your drones?

Especially faction laser ammo tends to be quite expensive, if you fly kinda reckless and have to reship often :)

In my derptrons I can take only 500 rounds of faction antimatter with me, cost basically nothing.
A derp tormentor for example has to either use normal ammo or pay a lot more for their faction ammo.

Derp tristans have to use T1 drones only, or it would be stupidly expensive to throw them around like candy, engaging anything.
