Take out the "drone AI" and make them flying guns. Remove auto-attack, and reduce them to just two behaviors: (1) default, orbit my ship; and (2) "F" to attack my selected target. Problem solved. Drones shoot what we want them to shoot, and PvE for drone boats is as "hands on" as it is for missile and gun boats, like CCP wants. No more need for NPCs to shoot them, and no more work trying to fix broken AI kludges like NPC hate modifiers and "focus fire."
It will suck when you're damped out to 1km targeting range by NPC ewar spam, but at least it will suck less than what we have now. |

The only real problem with drones is, that they aggress different targets even when you select them to focus fire. The other issues revolve around the whole drone commnad system not having recieved proper dev love in ages. The system certainly has a lot of room for improvement. People sucking at PvE or being unable to adjust tactics and the need for minor aggression tweaks aren't problems with drones though, so the solution doesn't need to involve drones either. |

Sounds like they way I've always used drones: Target, press shortcut, repeat.

I agree that against rats who EWAR things are pretty rediculous. In retrospect, it probably would have been better to change drones than change the whole AI of rats. |
