EVE Trick: Drone Exploit

I know this is very simple, but It's a great exploit
expecially if you are in a assault frig or incursus. (Can use up to 10 Drones in space depending on skill, and any extra you can use from any ship bonuses)
Example in using heavy drone Ogre:
Take 1 Ogre in an incursus to a gate and have a friend in a dominix or thorax or something take an entire load to the gate drop them in space and go through the gate.
Now send your drone into space and pick up each of the drones your friend dropped off and each time you pick up, release them into space.
This way you can control as many drones as your skills allow without worrying about your Drone Bay size.
Can be very useful in a gate gank setup.

after RMR (red moon rising) It will work still but with RMR you will be limited to 5 drones, they will however, be more powerful than before.

this is no longer an exploit. this is instead a working game mechanic and with the advent of carriers, how the game is ment to be played... at the very least, this should be moved to tips

Umm thats not true at all... still very much an exploit. The advent of carriers in the game has nothing to do with being able to control 5 heavy drones on a cruiser.

Not sure if I mistakenly moved this thread to nerfed or not but the gist of the 1ST post is that
you can control more drones than what you can hold in your drone bay. I don't consider this a exploit either but a good tip so I'm moving the topic out of nerfed.
This trick can be a life saver in some missions, bring in a bay full, warp back to base and load up again, nice to have 10 hard hitting drones in a frigate infested mission.

Not worth premium IMHO as the devs stated an drone exploit will be fixed tomorrow =)
