Drone Deployment
From Starsonata Wiki
Drone Deployment allows you to place Drones and costs 4 skill points per level to train. You can at most deploy 3 Temporary drones, except for Engineers which have 6 slots when the Engineer Class Skill Drone Mastery is maxed, or 7 slots if the Adv. subskill Droney is also chosen.
- Temporary Drones: +2 Drone Ops.
- Permanent Drones: +3% to Shield, Energy, Damage, Shield Recharge, Energy Recharge, Tracking, Firing Rate, Radar and Range.
It requires the same or greater level in Piloting in order to train Drone Deployment.
