Some of us are also trying to keep this topic current (on the first page) so the devs can see it matters. There are quite a number of posts in here that go into detail about what is wrong at the moment and I fail to see the need to repost it over and over.
Cya man!
Still waiting on your suggestions on how can I see how awfuly flawed the new AI is. Because so far I find it much more interesting to play EVE than afk-playing before.
This appears to be a thread about how the NPC AI hurts drone boats. You say you don't use drone boats. You then say you are awaiting a suggestion on how you can see how awfully flawed the new AI is. I believe the suggestion would be to use a drone boat.
The only real change for solo non-drone boat users is the increased EWAR. If you find increased EWAR to be more interesting, so that you don't have to afk-play, then more power to you. To say though that there isn't a problem because it doesn't effect you at all, is a bit disingenuous.

So, after the AI update the playstyle that I have skilled for is no longer viable. Only about a month ago I reached my goal of a Rattlesnake with maxed drone skills for doing missions, and now that the patch is out using heavy drones at range is now unfeasible.
Sure I can just not use heavies and not do missions anymore, and sell my Rattlesnake, but I enjoyed playing with them and I can't get that wasted training time back.
To be honest, there's no reason to use heavies with a rattlesnake. Sentries are the prime dps. In my mission rattlesnake, i carry a set of hob2s, then a set of therm, kinetic and EM sentries. I haven't come across any mission that I can't complete with that set up.

I think there are a few things they could do to help out drones:
Increase their base speed/tracking so they don't move using MWD. That's what really hurts them when they get aggro.
If a drone has aggro from a rat, other rats pick a different drone, or stick to the ship. The main problem comes when 5 or 6 rats all switch to one drone. If you're not paying attention, you'll eventually lose them all.
A more substantial increase in HP and resists for T2/faction drones wouldn't hurt.

If you're not paying attention, you'll eventually lose them all. Really? My impression was that the whole room (or at least the same size rats) tends to snap to the same target quite often. Which, if a drone... Or is that a suggestion as a fix? Come to think of it, i remember two instances, where multiple drones were shot at, while many when only one.
Was the first line of my post really only visible to me? :P
