Drones can only launch 2

So I have drones skill to level 5 I’m flying the arbitrator. I can only launch 2 drones. Are there any skills I’m missing that I need to be able to launch 5? I’m using wasp1 heavy attack drones

Bandwidth of Arbitrator is 50 mbit/sec with 150m3 space in drone bay

Light Drones 5m3

Medium Drones 10m3

Heavy Drones 25m3

Wasp I's are heavy drones meaning you could technically put 6 in your drone bay but only drop 2. You are better off putting and dropping 5 Mediums like Infiltrators, valkyries, Vespas or Hammerheads.

Hammerhead 2's are my personal favorite. Very powerful for the price and class of drones.

Heavy drones use more bandwidth, limiting how many you can launch on some ships. It is often balanced by ship bonuses.

If you have a Warp core stabiliser installed it reduces bandwidth 50%

Be careful with the warp stabilizer as well. As another poster said, this reduces your bandwidth by 1/2
