It would seem that GM's determined using Drones as a Starbase defence deterent is now an Exploit. Not because the drones create lag which make warping in and out difficult (for everyone), but because they provide additional targets for POS guns, thereby prolonging the life of attacking ships.
In this case I would suggest EVE simple remove drones from the game all together, because it seems every time someone comes up with a clever use for them it gets outlawed.
The incident in question resulted in a 60% shield insta-recharge. I would like to understand why/if this is sanctioned by DEV. In my opinion this along with other questionable actions, is a blantent evidence that GM's favour some groups over others.
I would like the EVE communities views on the ability for GM's to change the rules mid conflict.
I guess you have somthin valuble in that station. maybe you inform us? Why you so disered to retake it?

And again and again , may we please have some official infromation ?
May I use drones to attack the POS? How about dreads ? Will Gallentes have a chance to kill POS or GMs will recharge shield after every succesfull attack ?
Am I gonna be warned\banned for attacking NPC Battleships with small drones of my Ishkur ?
The poin is - that Shield bubble of the POS do not allow drones to shot at it, so they just cicle around it shooting but NOT hiting POS.

just another reasons to give POS anti drone drones that can only attack other drones (a much awaited and delayed feature from CCP as well as scavenger drones) and smaller anti drone weapons that can lock drones or wait - smartbombs on POS to take out the pesky drones
Other option to neutralise both defenders and attackers using drones is a natural field or module on POS that neutralises all drones within a 100km radius (problem solved)
There is NO problems with the drones. There is a problem with ppl that think if I send drone attack pos it will wtfpwn it. BUT field bubble is 30km radius, drones have 1km-4km optimal. HOW on earth are you attacking with them POS. Even blasterthrone can't do i scrach on POS shield.

All I can say on the matter is one GM has made CCP look like a bunch of ******. A decision he made has done a lot of damage to CCP reputation, this needs to be looked into at the highest level as there is so many inconsistancies in what was done, the decision to class drones as an expoit is laughable as they have always been used to take fire from NPCs, POS FOF missiles etc and have been used by all alliances before without problems. If it affected tracking of guns then fit a sensor booster to the POS, I believe they have them, fit smaller guns, lots of things to try and do but to claim an expoit and say the drones were the cause of lag is total rubbish, even when the drones dissappeared the lag was still as bad
So now you might as well remove the gallente dread from the game as it has no purpose.
/emote shacks his head, A bad bad day for CCP, due to a GM over stepping the mark
All I can say on this matter is that 5 is bunch of whinning kids that can't read.

A think you don't get to the point or do not wish to understand what was said.
1. Shield bubble is from 15km on smlaa pos to 30km on large one.
2. Drone have optimal 1-4km.
3. Drone do not do any dmg to the pos as the force field prvent them to orbin on the optimal near tower.
4. Why [5] used only small drone, they are weak in dmg field. Why not use heavy?
As you can see [5] bluntly exploited POS AI.

Fine telling 5 members not to use drones, but don't just nullify all their hard work instantly.
They knew that this is not intented. They use light drones always when attacking POSes. What hard work your are talking about? They lost only 3 BS to POS that is heavyly armed even Dread will have strugle to take it down.

So let me get this straight. The Moros, with his 35 drones as primary weapons, will not have the right to attack a POS.
A dreadnaught's main function is to kill POS, but it's an exploit to use its weapons in the exact way they were meant to be use.. ?!
DRONES CAN'T DO ANY DMG TO POS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
