I dunno, it sounds like you're complaining about difficulty to me.
Concerning drones, it's beyond difficulty. 100% chance of death for them. That's an issue. If you lose 100% of your drones you are doing it wrong! I will lose on average 2-3 small drones per day (that could be up to 6 hours running mission) Larger drones are more at Risk but you if you take out all the cruisers with guns and set the heavies on the BS you are generally ok. I tend to loose a few more of them per day than the smaller drones, but mainly thats due to lack of attention Obviously you have not done Level IV missions lately. Battleships alone on a field will now target and destroy your Large Drones now long before they can get back to their bay. Eliminating frigs and cruisers stops nothing. I run missions most week nights, always level 4s as well, it is not an issue i have noticed at all they may get targeted and even hit a few times while MWDing towards a target but once in orbit they never have issues. Perhaps increase your drone skills (durability and interfacing iirc) to make them last longer and hit harder.
Wrong, I have 14 mil in drone skills on my alt, durability to 5 etc....
I tried running L3's in a Gila, and didn't start having issues until about 6 or 8 missions went by.
Then suddenly, some of the NPC's would not aggro me at all, a group of them would wait for me to drop drones, and attack them immediately. No matter how many times I pulled in the garde 2's, it didn't matter. I tried to kill the 3 cruisers that were doing it, and lost a garde 2 with a medium remote centus rep on it to 3 cruisers sitting at 40k.
If someone with max drone skills can't manage them without losing some, in a L3 no less, there is a problem.
