plain and simple, after you kill someones ship there drones unlock you.
I remember reading the game mechanics correctly and drones are controlled by a players ship so if the ship is no longer present then should the drones unlock the target they WERE shooting at.
I call for this because having JUST lost my Arazu I ONLY lost it because after my fleet and I had killed the Ishtar we all started wrapping off. I couldn't cloak because the Ishtar's drones were still locked onto me even after we'd killed the Ishtar. His m8s came in and were able to get a point on me before I could warp away.
I wouldn't of died had I'd just been able to cloak up.

i agree, seems that would make sense seeing how they are controlled by the ship hence is ship is gone the drones become (should) inactive.

3rd'd I agree with you that once the owner/owners ship is destroyed the drones should basically become imobile and stop every action including targetting

Another cloaker dies, the world is a better place...
But yes, drones should shut down active locks once their controlling ship is gone. They will even retain lock if that ship warps off or abandons them.

I'd imagine any drones have ai in them, just like today's UAV's. To me it makes sense that they work autonomously based on the target orders given from controlling ship, so the comms link to drone is open only when issuing new orders, rest of the time it works autonomously. For example when the controller ship is destroyed the drones stay to perform given task.
Drones should stay to perform the given task even if the controller ship warps out but would stop after the current objective (attack order) is fulfilled (target destroyed or escaped) and stay put to wait for new orders.
New breed of drones would be a logical step (tech 3 hello?), ones that have built in ai so they keep attacking anything hostile and escort anything friendly once controller link has been lost. This would obviously fubar fleet fights with more server load bandwidth wise.

Not supported. Kill the drones or the drones will kill you. They are are a unique weapon in that you can completely disable the offensive capability of drone-focused ships by destroying their drones. Just as a final volley of missiles will still do damage and a bomb will still explode after its controller pops, it's important to keep in mind the fight is not over until all threats are eliminated.

Supported.
And since they are not ATTACKING you anymore, because their controller is dead, WHY shouldn't they unlock you? I dont get the point.

If they are going to stay locked, they should continue shooting. If they aren't supposed to be shooting, they shouldn't maintain a lock. Seems logical.

Yeah, this seems like a weird little corner case they didn't think of. I support changing it.
