Groups attack all members of a gang at last \o/\o/\o/
Makes group missioning actually worth bothering with

We gang warp in, Raven aggros group, I start to move in AFTER they attack him, suddenly I get POUNDED by most of the spawn and my Maller goes *POP*

Nah I LOVED it.
I've been whining about the complete lack of realism in group missions for AGES so this was a quality discovery.

Yes but it means needing TACTICS \o/
I hated the fact that a tank made the missions easy as ****. Now you have to take into consideration that ANY of your fleet will get smashed.

Now thats just great! (not the maller going *pop* part ) Seriously this is one step closer to making mission really together.

Yes they attack all group members, and they tend to switch to nearest target. And the scramble even in normal space. So finally missions are closing in on what they should have been all along.

If you get into fleet combat you dont shout over teamspeak
"ok guys, pick a target and shoot at it" You pick ONE target and kill it.
Npc's were doing that till now. I know it's not great but it was the smartest thing they could do. (focus fire)
meh - I'm not too bothered either way. Now they just dilute already puny firepower over a group.

If you're in a fleet and realize that the primary is tanked to the teeth, you switch targets. NPC's didn't do that.
If this works like I think it does, then it means I don't have to be able to tank the entire spawn, and can fit more offensively. So can the rest of my group. it should make things easier actually.
Now if there are ways to manipulate aggro...

I thought they always started attacking a target if it came to close.

I hate this patch because the fact you now have to group is made worse by the bounty cuts.

Lvl 4s was to rewarding anyway. And if you do group up for a mission you should be able to finish one up in a few minuttes. _____________________________________________

Great feat! didn't know it worked now.. cool! Too bad you can't pull with a heavy tanked ship.. but for the game experience, lovely!
Now all we need is the posibility to share a mission with your group. :)
Oh.. nice sig btw Kaasta, really nice. Caldari pride for sure.

I have noticed that they switched targets but only after I jammed them. If ship 1 jumps in first and attacks then the fire will be focused on him until NPCs of that group don't lose the target (jammed for example).

No, if we see 10 Apocs and one Raven and 10 Apocs have tjhis fancy lights connecting them to Raven and only Raven shoots us we will not concentrate fire on raven for hours.
Most probably the moment we realize shield transfer is going on and\or someone is supertanked fire will be concentrated on someone else.
And no, NPCs have enought power - just have a look on final stage of 7-8\10 complex. Now it will be more challenging and interesting.

No, not really. I tried several combinations - tank + support, tank + gangedon, tank + peacefull observer. They target second ship sooner or latter ( distance was 80km)
