Personally, I'd like to see far less focus on drones by sleepers. I've tried killing even the weakest of spawns, and it was absurd. I went as far as to just not USE drones for the first few and use my pitiful guns. If I had been in a gunboat, it would've been easy.
It's simply not fair for drone users that sleepers always shoot drones first. I understand you want to make a good AI, and you've certainly done that, but there's a point where it just becomes boring and tedious. I know that by the time I was done with the launch/recall/hope-i-don't-lose-my-drones-with-no-place-to-get-more game for a meager 5 frigates, I was about ready to ragequit for the night.
I'm not asking for an easy mode like everything seems to think drones are. I'm asking for a "not at an extreme disadvantage" mode. "Isn't the Eiffel Tower an early prototype of a Minmatar Battleship?" --Illectroculus Defined |

The NPC AI sucks.... really... badly.... it needs to be updated, potentially even to something similar to the sleepers.
I don't have a problem with all NPC having sleeper AI AS LONG AS THEY KEEP THEIR CURRENT DPS/TANK STATS
The biggest issue using drones against sleepers is sleepers are way too overpowered compared to anything else you encounter... I mean how can you fit a bs to insta-lock and snipe full damage with bs-size weapons to a drone who barely has any sig-radius?
In my case I gave up on gallente ships since it seems devs hate them for some reason... with sleepers AI they made all my drone sp worthless so i'm training for Raven

Flew with my corp in a sleeper site class 3 system. I was armour tanking a tempest against 2 sleeper battleships. My drones were bussy killing the frigate sleepers with my two corp mates in Drakes while I shot at the sleeper battleships and took the heat. Had to warp out though but by then one sleeper BS was halfway into armour and the Drakes took him out as I warped back in to help deal with the last remaing one.
Drones work fine you just need to know how and when to use them in Sleeper sites.

SO then YES, drone boats are ****ed. I can't exactly just decide to not use my drones, now can I? "Isn't the Eiffel Tower an early prototype of a Minmatar Battleship?" --Illectroculus Defined |

I've flown with drones in a class 5. Lost 1 medium because I released them and then totally forgot i did, didn't even expand their group so I could see health.
Still I managed to lose only 1 despite how monumentally careless i was.

Edited by: Lord WarATron on 08/08/2009 09:04:45 Well, I use t1 disposable drones anyway for PvE, unless there is a chance of pvp where its t2 all the way. But yeah I guess the point is a intresting one.
More importantly, such a change could hurt the few people doing lvl5's. Those respawning neut towers switching targets and bingo, a couple of neuts on each of your remote rep ships while doing Fate of Angels and its over. The traditional solution is spam more numbers, thus reducing rewards per player.
If anything, lvl5's should have more rewards, and I hope CCP look into this carefully. --

Fix the AI so that drones are no longer instantly primary, (Though using RR's in highs should help)

are you kidding me?, nerf level four missions!.....put in low level sleeper ai and leave the money as it is.
RISK/REWARD my friend
Sleeper AI Fixes the "Risk" thing. But if you remove NPC's (So that it doesn't take 5 people 2 hours to do a mission) then you are going to be left with some ****-poor Isk/Hour. unless you balance the reward per mission/bounty. Think before you post. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008
