setup: domi with sentries, a corpmate(gang) in frig. drones assist corpmate.
sounds good, but it works kinda randomly.
frig locks ceptor, agresses, assisting drones agress frig locks hac, agresses, nothing happens
and so on... this is the worst drone bug ever in my opinion. u trust in the assisting capability, and it plain fails in like 50% of the time. sometime it works perfect, sometimes u just get kicked in the nuts.
i use guard a lot in missis and it works perfectly. drones allways shoot what shoot the guarded target. so i kinda thought assist would work the same way, but apearently it doesnt.
anyone else had the same experience?

I tried to use it the other day in a mission to save reassigning drones each time and I couldn't for the life of me get it to work, weird though because a couple month back it worked fine, thought it was just me who was too dumb to get it to work _______________

CCP randomly breaks the drone AI so drone users get to wonder if their drones will work properly from week to week.

try this. turn on the concord warning. get a noobship. put a light armor maintenence bot in the dronebay. fly to belt. tell remote rep drone to repair rat. get concorded without warning.
now have a buddy turn on the concord warning. have him remote repping your noobship when you tell the drone to rep the rat. watch concord pop him without warning.
now imagine those two noobships were a partially faction fit missioner typhoon and myrmidon.
yes it sucked. -- People come to lowsec > pirates blow them up > they don't come to lowsec again > pirates complain not enough people for them to blow up in lowsec
we really need a hardcore rocket destroyer |

yes it sucked.
after try this, i though YES maybe something i could do. then i got info about what not to do.
but i still wonder why in hell someone repairs npcs...
anyway i wonder if assisting drones ever worked. i mean like really worked all the time, every time.

I've found that I have to activate a weapon on a target to get assigned drones to engage. Other things don't work as far as I've seen.

Try having one or two rep drones in your bay with combat drones. Tell the rep drones to rep a coprmate. Tell the combat drones to kill a NPC and watch as the rep drones also go off and start repping the NPC. Cringe as your ship gets popped by a power mad police force who don't take kindly to you assisting NPC rats.

Drones only assist when the corpmate or their target is in control range. So if your corpmate flew outside the control range of the domi and starts attacking, sentry drones just sit there and watch the show. |
