well my missionrunner just lost 10 hobgoblins II some hammers II (15) total in TWO missions. For example; when engaging the gurista gate guards in WC I end up loosing 3 hammer II WTF?. That¦s more than I usually lose during months of pveing L4, and I have had no problems up until now keeping my drones alive. Today (same day we're getting drone damage implemented in the damage log) Isolated groups that I keep pounding suddenly deaggress and randomly start shooting my precious drones.
Is this the new working as intended npc-AI? and/or aggro-mechanics? "Even vanilla-NPC will now attack your expensive drones and target switch?
edit:how the hell did this end up in W&T MOve please to M&C. |

One or two I could understand - but 15?
If your drones get aggro, pull them in till the NPCs target you. Then launch them again. Takes less than 30 seconds.
Ogre's ... yeah they're more likely to get caught, but there's really zero reason to be losing Hobs and Hammers.

i found another but similar problem to topic starter. Looks like after last patches drones got some crazyness =) i see that they completely lost their ability to focus fire (you need to retarget them every 3-4 killed targets on their own). They can switch from red-blinking targets to random red object (preferably at 100km from you), attack it and get dead before you detect this.
I remember that there was some problems with drones before but not this caliber. Usually i loose drones when i afk (kitchen, bio...) but last week i was loosing drones being in other Eve window or even while chatting! Even 1 minute of attention lost costed me 3 hobgoblines last night. they went far away from current targets, attacked passive group of cruisers and frigs and found miserable end

I've noticed a change in AI involving drones as well. AIs at a distance will more likely target drones closer to them than you which can cause some pretty bad complications unless you have an agro gun of some sort.

Even if you have all agro, your drones still take damage it seems.
I don't know if its a case of the UI being bugged or what.
Are the rats changing targets without showing that they have?

Maybe they finally trained the Targeting skill.

This is probably an intended change to get rid of afk missioners. I'll be interested to see how it affects people and LVL 4 missions. Perhaps we'll have to start putting remote reps on our drone boats to keep our drones up and alive.
If its not too bad i think it could be an interesting change of pace, unless the drones are just getting totally wasted then that would be pretty broken.
