How about drones get sent "Return to dronebay" on disconnect? Like you would have done it yourself on your drones? Wouldn't that be the simplest solution..
"scoop to dronebay on disconnect" would be more like it. If there is any flight time on the drones/fighters, then either you'd be able to recover drones from outside the local grid (as you begin to warp away) or drone recovery would need to extend the time it takes for you to warp away.
The first option creates some potential game imbalances, the later creates some potentially unpleasant results if you're in a PVE mission (but not scrambled), up to and including getting your ship destroyed.
PS, updated my post.

its would be nice if we put few exemptions like,
1 ,if u in combat - all the fighter that are attacked cant insta go to drone bay - same thing like doking to station when u agressed.
2 , if they not warp scrambled then its possible to instarecall
or maybe the button with duration of 1 up 5 minutes - for the recall to complete would be fair.
this way its impossible to exploit it with just plugging out , because your drones still gona be out for some time and still can be poped if u pvping - making it not perfect but atleast gives a chance to recover some drones - not complete loss.

I was going to write the same post just today, yes it sucks so much when you get disconnected and your drones stay in a complex, die, and you have to chase after them when you're back!
+1 vote!
edit, a better idea would be for drones to return to bay automatically when you get disconnected.

would love a reconnect button that works only when you enter grid.
not sure about the recall function though.

i want to know if this topic will come in later development - because from the position of capital pilot , carrier - after disconnection and logging back - they instantly get in unfair position - because they lose all fighters - most of dps and fighters were not killed - but just disconnected from your ship control, with no possibility to collect them, without spending like 3 hours warping and flying your slow and heavy cap ship
this feature - is for balancing - or it may be considered as bug fix - because its not suppose to be like that - 160 mill fighter loss - is not a joke - its a serious issue.

Agree fully, lost lots of money losing drones/fighters to eve crashes.
At least put in a fix to get reimbursed...

yes , but there is either recall or reimbursement, how ever its highly unlikly for fighter to get insurance because they sort of like ammunition - expendable, but recall or connect button with timer will do just fine in fixing it.

it would be also very nice if drones are to repair slowly - like 1% hull/armor/shield - every 10 seconds or so. this is not crucial but would be very nice to have |

i also would like to add a new type of drone - Warp disrupting drone!
only for capital ships - one drone at any time active
stats:
- volume 5k m3
shield + armor = around 5 k hp
speed as fighter speed
strength of 2
all other warfare drones exist - why not make that one too |

Well, I totally agree that this is an issue, and would greatly benefit the drone using playing experience if addressed.
However, I think that a much better (and perhaps simpler)way of addressing this would be to just have drones automatically recall whenever initiating warp. Naturally, it might help to make the drones warp capable as well, if only for the situation of returning to drone bay.
Maybe even make it an option alongside the current drone options, for switching whether they automatically recall or not. I guess in some less common situations you may not want to recall them..?

Yeah, sort of like that. But this version covers more ground.

Logoffski exploit possible? I'd like something like this implemented though. |

I hate to lose drones because of disconnect. This is not fair. |

Don't fighters return to your drone bay when you disconnect anyway? I have had that experience in the past... |

its not just about the fighters - its also about all other drones , medium in particular too
im 100% sure when u disconnected u lose control over your drones in space - they do not return to u

also it would be solution to make fighters cheaper a bit - from 16 mill to like 2-3 mill , that would not solve the problem but at least make it less isk sinky as it is now |

that would also be nice, although I guess there are a few other issues with that.

I also think that you should be able to have a hotkey for launching your drones at the target when they are still in the drone bay instead of launching them everytime. |

I fully support a 'reconnect' button for lost drones under a few conditions:
You can't do it unless you have space to fit them in your drone bay.
You can only do it when on grid with the drones.
You still can have drones stolen if you leave them behind.
You stop using 'u' as a replacement for 'you'. IT'S 2 EXTRA LETTERS FFS! |

These are reasonable limits. Good idea.

At the very least if your ship warps off, so should your drones. These are DPS assets that are too easily lost and hard to replace especially in deep 0.0.
