Nyx and its Drones!

I am trying to find out exactly how many drones the Nyx can operate in space at once. I keep hearing about 25, but the skills noted in mastery only afford 15.

The skills are:

Gallente Carrier: adds one Fighter/Fighter Bomber control per level (5 at max)
Drone: adds one drone control per level (5 at max)
Advance Drone Interfacing: adds one additional drone control unit per level (5 at max level) A DCU allows you to control an additional drone so it literally is like having another Drone V skill set.

That makes a grand total of 15, and thus far, I have not been able to find out where you acquire control of another 10.

For those checking out my skills, please note I am planning for the Nyx, this will take at least a year, but I want to have the necessary skills noted and those applicable set, thus my two questions: What is the total drone control? and... If it is more than 15, what other skills increase your drone control?

Your feed back would be greatly appreciated.

25 is an old number. During the drone rebalance they also modified fighters/FB and the number a super carrier can launch.

specifically the gallente carrier skill used to give +3 drones as a bonus so 5 base + 15 ship bonus + 5 From drone control Units would give 25 max drones. Now it is 5/5/5 respectively for a max of 15.

Also bear in mind that Supercarriers CAN NOT use "regular drones." Only Fighters and Fighter Bombers (which are also drones, but a special kind of drone).
