Seriously now CCP, what did you do now? During the past 2 days, I have lost at least 5 T2 drones simply because when they are launched, they get full agro from entire pockets and get slaughtered in 5-10 seconds. Just now had full agro in first pocket of AE on my ship, everything shooting at me happily. Release drones, pew, all damage turned against them and 2 drones melted faster then the UI could display the damage. They simply disappeared. 12k ISK bounty frigates massacre T2 drones like they are candy - please fix.

yea it sucks when NPCs accidently behave intelligently and you need to adapt your tactics, don't it?

This has been around for a long, long time. If you want to use drones in missions, you need to manage aggro carefully. Either aggro the entire room before deploying drones, or be ready to scoop the drones into your drone bay on a moment's notice. Training levels in Drone Durability and using a ship which has a bonus to drone health will give you more time to recall your drones before they pop. If you are aware of what's happening around you (but too lazy/paranoid to aggro the entire room), you shouldn't lose more than a drone or two in a single mission. If you aggro the entire room before deploying drones, your drones will be safe unless you warp out without recalling them.
You can also only use drones against enemies which are close to you, so that you can recall them quickly when they pick up aggro.

Did you even read what I wrote? I had the room agroed, launched drones and before they got 1 orbit around my Maelstrom, 2 were gone. The same ships that were shooting me, started to shoot them and melted them like butter.
In the mission Right Hand of Zazzmatazz: the last 5 frigates were left, webbing me like usual while I was shooting the headquarters thingie. Landed there with me second acount, launched drones and those same webbing frigs melted the new drones but did not attack my Maelstrom's drones, that were shooting the frigs and living the life, as my ship was the number 1 agro-er al the while still webbing my Mael. If that makes sense to you, please explain.

Ah, sorry, I had only skimmed your post. I had not noticed that you said you already had full aggro. Did you bug report it?

Yeah I have to say this mission was operating that way before the patch.

And that is why I launch drones after all of the cruisers/battleships are gone.
