That’s just plain wrong.  
The beacon of the second sun of the WS applies to locations on ships that require specific skills.

I explained that [here](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/does-wolf-rayet-small-weapons-bonus-applies-to-light-drones/444765/8)

That’s just a label. You can do whatever you want ^^  
I agree light drones are more heavily used by cr than fr or ds.

That being said, cr can also fit small weapons. They are not bonused for them, but they can have more fit and modules.

nope. Set your drones to assist, you don’t even need F1.

You apply perfectly until they reach you. With a bonus to DPS

yeah, usually better to blap the ship.
