So, given that CCP decided to make the new safety button and it's supposed to get rid of all safety messages, cotton wooling etc if you have it to red, why WHY WHY! don't drones work when you assign them in low sec? I have my safety off, so I don't care about anything that gives me aggression, sec status penalty, crim etc.
Also I'm currently watching a live PL stream of the fight in Asakai and those scrubs don't realise assigning drones in their slowcats doesn't work in lowsex.
If you could go ahead and fix this CCP, I'd give you 3 interwebs points.

What drones are you trying to assign? Because only damage dealing drones can be assigned to another player. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

Confirmed damaged drones. It's known by everyone in low sex, but I'm not sure if it's 'working as intended'. |

Must be a bug maybe? Because I'm assigning my drones to people as I type this in a FW plex. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

Are your drones shooting rats or people, because if it's rats, that's obviously not the problem, it's when you assist your drones to someone, he shoots someone, drones do nothing because "oh we can't make you go suspect". |

What are slowcats?
Thanks for heads up tho, hope CCP fixes this. Or could this be because they don't want instalock+instapop sentry Domis camping gates?

IIRC (or it might be the safety feature intervening but I've seen it before that was introduced) assigning/assisting drones has never worked properly and if you put drones on assist to someone who is also only using drones to attack they will never do anything ever when the person they are assigned to attacks with their drones.
From my experience if you want drones on assist to reliably attack as and when the person they are assigned to does so then the person they are assigned to needs to fit a target painter and use it on the target - no idea why this suddenly seems to make drones on assist work more reliably and why other modules don't seem to work as reliably. |

An enemy militia Rifter and cruiser were insta-melted under the power of the drone swarm.
But yeah... I personally have never experienced this issue. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

That would be because those people were legitimate war targets, so there's no sec hit, suspect timer etc, so your drones are happy to oblige. If they weren't war targets the outcome would be the drones do nothing, even if your safety is set to red.
It's stupid and needs changing so I can do aforementioned domi camp lol. |

as said, only damage dealing drones can be set to assist.
we use it often in low, with all te myrm / vexors drones assigned to a fast ship (vaga / cynabal), and so far, it as always worked (fear the cynabal with 25 warriors 2 assigned by myrmidons )

Thankyou, I haven't previously said I'm using damage drones ffs. Are the people you're shooting blinky/war target/have an engagement timer? |
