Do Mining Drones have AB or MWD?

There is a separate bonus to drone speed and AB/WMD speed on Medium Drone Speed Augmentor.

I need to know which number to take into account for Mining Drones when calculating the advantages of Speed Augmentor vs Medium Drone Mining Augmentor.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know but I'm pretty sure they have breaks, and they do use it all the time Straight

In terms of using mining drones to increase yield this is a good and viable option. But you should not be looking to fit drone rigs to your mining ship. Instead fit rigs that increase kinetic and/or thermal shield resistances or shield hitpoints. Use your mining drones on rocks that are 5000 metres from your ship for optimum performance.

iirc all drones use MWD, probably even sentries although 500% of 0 is still 0 =P. As for which one to use it really depends on how you mine.

Do you sit at warp in and mow down the whole belt? If so then drone speed would be more useful.

If you sit next to the asteroid while you mine then the mining drone augmentor would be better.
