My ship is drones only so I do usually keep at range and stick with sentries.
That might be your problem, you forgot to fit turrets. Another good module to keep rats interested in you and also benefits sentries is a target painter.

Two things
-Why a explorer behind enemy lines that is dependent on drones for his dps doesen't carry a remote armor repair is beyond me.
-Eve's "pve" content is worst in the industry, fire whoever thought it would be a good idea to introduce mechanics that only serves to make them, if possible, even more annoying.
Still love my little space game but man sometimes I feel ashamed of you. |

One question: Do you just dump your drones as soon as you land on grid, or do you pull aggro first, then deploy? |

I really like exploration there is no way I could have saved any of these drones.
I stopped reading at this point because your argument is invalid. There is no excuse for losing sentries when you can 1) clearly see if the rats are targeting you or your drones. 2) Graphical weapon indications from the rats. 3) Drone shield, armor & structure bars. You know, all indicators available for those blessed with the gift of sight. 
it was an 8/10. ie sufficient dps that an ishtar can't just sit on its drones, or even orbit them. ie L4 missions are one thing, exploration pockets can be quite another.
You used to be able to drop the drones, open fire with some guns to get aggro and run like hell. Now you need to carry the drones to a sniping perch, and you need to be quite realistic about the risk to your mobile drones if you use them to do some dps whilst moving to the perch.

It's weird how some people have no problem with the new AI and don't loose any drones and some loose them all the time.

If it helps, I'm always within 30km of npc and i have some turrets to attack with. I don't release drones unless everything within safe range (upto 40k or so) is red locked on me and i don't send drones on things past 20k if i can help it. I don't recall last time i lost drone. |

Not really, I use drones all the time and as of yet since the change I think I have lost 2 or 3 no biggie, The problem is since the AI change missions/plex's have just become such a ball ache to do I don't actually bother doing them anymore.
The problem with drone ships is that their dps can actually be destroyed unlike other platforms. Missle/turret ships can't get their main weapons destroyed by rats (obviously apart from being blown up) so their minimum dps will always be there.
Again as I said since the new AI was introduced I find it actually more boring than before so much in fact I don't do it anymore.

You are doing it wrong. here is how you do it.
1. Deploy sentries
2. Drop can
3. Orbit can at 500m
This way you will never be out of range of your drones.

I feel your pain brother.... guristas are the nastiest rats there for two reason:
2) doing guristas you only have 1 strategy tank and spank.... u can`t pull range, drones take more dmg do to rats using missiles, unless you do them in a assault frig speed tanking is out of the equation.
This is so full of wrong. Gurista's BS don't do any damage at all to cruisers. Just don't be a giant signature passive shield tank. You don't even need an afterburner.
