Troll or real?
I started training missiles to counter the TD problem, maybe not the best plan...

Drones can be useful, but there are a lot of other things to consider when using drones. You should also keeping mind that drones work best against non elite rats.
The tracking disruptors seem to have 50km optimal and 20km falloff, you might have a better chance using a long range weapon setup. Which also have a lot of other limitations...

2) Release the Light Drones, set to aggressive.
3) Watch the frig swarm melt.
4) ?????
5) Profit !
And against TD's, Sensor Boosters with scripts.
OH MY ! We have to think and use the tools are our disposal to do missions !! OMGWTFBBQ The Sky Is Falling !!!
Target Painters does absolutely nothing, light drones just don't get targeted by anything except elite frigs and cruisers.
Sensor booster don't really counter the tracking disruptor, you want to use tracking computer or enhancer.

I started using a Painter on my mission boat 18 missions ago, and since then my Light Drones didn't get aggroed once, even with a swarm of 20+ frigates orbiting me ... heck, I even "paint" a lonely cruiser that I keep for last, and it works.
They changed the mechanic, nothing except ELITE frigs and cruisers will target light drones, it has nothing to do with the target painter.

Try that in a ded site with 20 cruisers and you will see it has no effect what so ever, within seconds half the room switch to the drones if you use medium.

I remember reading a dev post with a comment about the target selection of the AI, and ships offensive and defensive capabilities is one factor. Battleships may just naturally gain more aggression, then cruisers and battlecruiser in the same situation.
I've tried the target painter flying myrmidon and vexor, and it does nothing, the rats switch to the drones first chance they get. It may or may not work for bigger or smaller ship, but the target painter alone is no magic cure.
