I have been insulted in the help chat when I asked about what fitting I should have on my ship as soon as I saw that I logged out and searched TH-cam and found your vedio thank you for being such a helpful guy
Great vid as always Benzie! A tip from me though to all drone users like myself - your drones WILL continue attacking their targets once they are released even if you leave the control range (only one drone will come back, the rest will stay on attacking). This would work great with kiting if you want to fight enemies 2+ tiers higher than you. Once you whittle one down, just close in enough into range so you can unleash the command to attack the next target then pull back out again. I cleared T7 encounters with this method on a T4 Algos. Happy farming everyone
Wow! I never scrolled all the way down to see just "Drone", i was trying to figure out how to launch more than 2. And I never noticed "upgrade" i was looking at only the first few words of each skill and skipping to the one I wanted.
I too enjoy the Dragoon for the Drone support. I especially like the damage the warriors can do. One might look into the various Drone Speed and Damage Modules that are available at market and to build through industry. The Drone speed one is very inexpensive and uses materials from anomaly ship debris you can process. I am still working on kiting since I maxed my targeting having more ships to deal with. I still have work to do with manual vs auto orbiting since my targets have a neck for ripping through my shields. Knowing how to orbit is helpful. Great video Captain!
So far I've mainly skilled up to level 4 in a missile focused direction. Nothing into drones. However after watching this I am really interested in trying out drones! I just feel like I would be wasting skilling time I could be putting into the skill path I have already been following by branching off into something else. I want to try all the ships and all the weapons but I cant! Great content by the way Cap, I have learnt ALOT from you so thank you.
@@captainbenzie i have done the same in getting all weapon systems to 4. Im just finishing up getting my decompresor skills to 4 in preparation for the shoe horn!
What about the VEXOR TRAINER I put SMALL DRONES inside the drones slots but they won't come out saying my "skill level" has to be a 3... I went through every drone skill I can think got them up to three and it still won't let me launch drones... am I doing something wrong? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I made a beeline to the drone boats :) been playing eve online since 2012 as an amarr purist. Lost my dragoon trainer once, but my dragoon has not yet been destroyed and I am owning.
I have a question At the end of the video when you where ratting with drones The drone icon has a target in the top left corner of it Ik from playing if you click it it will change to an orbit icon I think it is What is the diffrence? Does it matter? Or do anything?
Ahoy captain. When you briefly shown stratios, I remembered once I flied that in EO. Sadly in echoes there is no exploration. Do you have any information that CCP will add that feature soon? As always thanks for the content
Going across the target is making you take smaller damage? Wouldn't kiting away from them present a smaller target (the rear of your ship) vs the broadside of your ship?
Can someone explain what's going on when your drone is in mid combat then it's icon starts to blink and no standby or attack subicon? And is the only rectification is to recall and relaunch?
Watched your video on group shield thrasher and took it one step farther and futted my stabber sniper Brawler fit with 2 med group shield booster and had 2 tracking 2 gyroscope and one afterburner in low slot at first which did well in my advanced encounters. My dps was 898.84 so to make this alitlle more tanky I replaced a gyroscope with the reactor shield hardener and then. Put a third tracking computer took out all gyroscopes Dps solid 574. But after feeling invisible I ended up losing this ship to a drone boat. Thanks for this video i think I'll have something new for you soon Enjoy playing with the. Sniper brawler group shield tank .
@@captainbenzie test fit using 2 adaptive hardness 2 tracking and afterburner in low slots. Shes a beast finally and still holding at 526.dps I think I finally done tuned this one
Hey, thank you so much for the quality content here. I love Eve Echoes and used to play Eve Online. I have a question for you. I chose Gallente and drones because it appealed to me. My corporation is in 0.0 and I mostly clean anomalies with my mates, who all run Caracal with missiles... Some say that drones are pretty useless and do not compare to missile. With the medium drones being so expensive at the moment, I consider going full missiles and running a Caracal to make money and solo T6. What do you think ? Should I keep with drones and be patient or go Caracal and missiles ? Drones being destructibles, and missiles not having ammunition... i'm starting to think they are right Thank you for your advice
@@captainbenzie Thank you so much ! This is exactly what I did after reading a few comments of your followers and I'm having a blast ! You just confirmed me in my choice. I just wish they had a way to see the drones in the drone bay appear in the tools on screen, to make the switch of drone type easier and faster. Thank you for you answer :)
you missed a gallente battlecrusier myrmidon and amarr prophecy, gurista ships got nice drone dps boosts but you can use only 2 drones (still, they are awesome)
Captain Benzie - EVE Echoes, thanks heaps. Got another one, not combat related but noting you played the beta just wondering if mining drones will be released at all. Thanks again Loving the videos.
Captain Benzie I've been using a coercer navy issue and have done small laser upgrades..is there any ship that you can recommend me using small lasers? If not then which is the best PVE ship for t6? Please answer this and thank you in advance :)
@@captainbenzie Thank you very much for your help Captain Benzie! Would you say it's viable to stay with my coercer navy issue and just upgrade my equipment along the way until I get the coercer covert ops? ( Would you suggest this ship by the way?) Sorry to be asking you many questions im new to EVE I hope you can understand and it was my final question ^^
Hey..Captain new to your channel! Thks for lots of info! Question i'm new to EVE all around..ive been trying the free ship omen it has balanced armor but im running med. Fast missiles with two small shields armor repair, med. Energy suck of enemy ships. My question is im a tch 5 available to to do tech6 encounters at 10km range..because i figure if i can do that increasing my build as is..i can survive a player assault better, as i increase my ship and tech is this a good strategies?
I think I've watched every video you've put out in the past 3 months and feel very prepared. 1. Is High Sec space TRULY safe from attack? I know in Eve Online you were still vulnerable to suicide ganks, but did Eve Echos make it impossible to be attacked in high sec? (AFK mining for example) 2. Can you make a video on good rig combinations along with penalties: Combat/engineering/industry. Confused on what it means by "similar rig penalties". Does similar mean using a mining amount increase with a miner recharge decrease, or does it just mean using two of the same rigs (2x miner yield).
When my drones die I just push the button and they come back and refresh to be reused. They weren't destroyed for me in a vexor trainer or algos trainer
Would the Algos trainer with drones and missles be good to do higher tier anomalies and encounters keeping distance from enemies to make isk? Would the enemies focus fire on me or would they kill the drones? Drones are super expensive lol
Hey capt, i just wanna ask something ..if minmatar can fit armor tanking how effective they are with that fitting ? also if they can armor tank why does some/most of their ship has shield bonus ? That's confuse me and It's been in my mind for a view days lol 😂 Also, any talwar videos/guide soon ?
So I see the soe ships, is exploration gonna be a real thing? Is it currently a real thing? Astero exploration/pvp was one of my favorite activities in eve online.
holaaa muy buen video me gustaria que continuen haciendo contenido similar... Voy a seguir mirando sus creaciones. Les mando un abrazo nos vemos luego ❤️👍🏽
@@captainbenzie Haha fair, though my current question is, arbitrator gets bonuses to weapon disruptors, weapon disruptors aren't in the game yet are they?
Kinda hitting a bit of a lull in the game but having fun. Think I'm just in a grindy window. About halfway through lvl 4, just completed the advanced tutorial to get the dragon trainer. I've got a mess of modules in my hanger and a coercer that I think is decently fitted. Sometimes I need to get a little creative with capacity management in battle but I can usually eat through encounters without leaving. Just feels like I should be doing more 🤷
Love how just disregards the moths/years it will take to earn isk for these! Seriously, bonkers money for the ships in this game. Navy level are just simply forget it.

Just wan to say thank you, your videos helped alot coz I’m new to EVE .. jus got my algos trainer yesterday and playing around wit drones
Can you do a game settings tutorial? Should auto lock be on, should auto attack be on, what is the setting for "auto orbit" mean...?
Need it spelt out man? Just try and see what happens, hint it says auto orbit. Sometimes with a game you just have to play it.

So is a ship such as the Stabber, which has one Launch Tube, still limited to only one drone, no matter what the Drone skill is at?
Very nice updated guide to drones.
These videos are just brilliant mate. I am doing a lot of learning. Thanks o7
Holy crap, been flying my dragoon trainer but after seeing the "Worm"... I want that lol
Thanks for showing how to swap drones while out in space.
How do you find inquisitor anomalies? I have a Vexor and need drones!
How do we control the drones and tell them what to do?

literally the best source of info for Eve Echoes. Thanks for your videos and grats on the well deserved popularity!
Yeah he is good
Great video looking forward for more.
How come all your eve pictures of your module drones etc are completely different from mine ard you running some other display software program ?
how do you get the Worm ships?
Awesome vid Captain! How did you learn to make your videos? Do you have any advice for someone trying to start out?
Ahoy captain. When you briefly shown stratios, I remembered once I flied that in EO. Sadly in echoes there is no exploration. Do you have any information that CCP will add that feature soon? As always thanks for the content
I love the look of the S.O.E line of ships. Going to have to get my skills ready for when they come out.
Will CCP be adding functions that will allow for bluetooth keyboard and mouse? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ahoy Captain!! Thanks for the video, really needed this👍
Ahoy captain! I want to know what means psr of drones in the guristas cruiser 🤔
Stupid question but how do you recover drones in echoes? Couldn’t for the life of me figure it out today.
Going across the target is making you take smaller damage? Wouldn't kiting away from them present a smaller target (the rear of your ship) vs the broadside of your ship?
@@captainbenzie Thank you, I’d forgotten your signature radius is what is targeted.
Kiting is basically orbiting at a certain distance right? Sorry completely new to eve and eve echoes lol
Great vid Cap! Had no idea how these work
Can someone explain what's going on when your drone is in mid combat then it's icon starts to blink and no standby or attack subicon? And is the only rectification is to recall and relaunch?
Gotcha... Thanks.
But what happens if you combine 2 drone icons and one of them been shot? What will be displayed? Have you tried?
Thanks for taking the dragoon trainer 👍

How are you personally earning isk? Anomalies? And what skills are you focusing on? I guess military but what in particular? Keep it up
Oh man, I wish the skills layout was easier to navigate. Having "Drone" be way at the bottom makes no sense to me. Great video!
Maybee they did it to boost asking in game for help engage human psychology...
I've been wondering about that too. Got my drone skills up to speed or so I thought. Then I saw your comment. 😁
What is the best method to destroy enemy drones? My own drone? Small missles? Cannons?

Plus medium drones are ridiculously expensive.....
Do you have any space in your corp just joined the game after watching your vid that just appeared in my recommended
Do u fit weapon damage mode (ballistic control/magnetic stab) instead of for drone one (Drone Damage Amplifier) on purpose?
Where as if you're doing a build and fighting from 23km away (and have the skill) you'd fit a drone damage up module.
How do you "fly manually", to keep from orbiting and not getting hit
@@captainbenzie thank you , definitely get good info from your videos
you missed a gallente battlecrusier myrmidon and amarr prophecy,
gurista ships got nice drone dps boosts but you can use only 2 drones (still, they are awesome)
Lmao been in game from day one of EE and this is the first time I ever see that you can recall drones that way thanks B 🤙🏽😅
What is the viability of drone in PvP ?
Would you fit the algos differently?
