Focus fire does not work
Also my Medium drones should target medium sized ships until they are all gone. This is normally fine but sometimes they go for the battleships and it just makes me have to retarget cruisers and bc's over and over.
frikkin pain in the ass and they've been this way for how long now??

While we're at it a better drone interface would be nice but I'm not gonna push it.

The secret to your drones doing what you need them to do is passive mode... never have to worry about them doing something stupid on their own again
seriously tho, drones are stupid to make droneboat pilots have to pay as much attention to targets as everyone else, otherwise you can just go AFK and make money with the CCP supplied bots

Maybe youre right Azhpol. I think I'm complaining because my lazyness isn't perfectly complimented by my drones.
But still they should at least fix focus fire!

I fly droneboats myself, so I know your pain... but through experimenting with it, if you toggle focus off and back on they will focus UNLESS you engage a new target yourself while they are changing targets(first 2-3 drones go for the one they pick, the rest go for what you targetted/fired at)
They do behave consistently, just not the way we expect. Remember that their #1 priority when they pick a new target when you have focus fire enabled is to attack the most recently engaged target and they are pretty easy to manage.
I want the ability to know when my ogre IIs are getting yellowboxed by NPC ceptors... only time I lose drones is when my ogre IIs get webbed

i use a target painter to help keep my drones focused on the target i want them on. it seems to do the trick most of the time...occasionally i'll have one or two start engaging another target, but they generally stay pretty focused when the painter is on. |

Ok well thanks for the info, at least I know why they do what they do now. It's really not too bad considering gunners have to pay a lot more attention when clearing a place out as fast as possible.
