here is the solution a) allow POS to have deployable drones to tackle other drones - allow anti drone guns for POS -
Until CCP give us an offical dev blog or post saying Drones are an exploit on POS keep using em folks.
If they give us offical word then dont on the other hand if it is a problem they need to deploy additional equipment or improve the AI or add small anti drone guns on POS to fix the problem or allow it.
What if u have 3 domi defneding a POS and 3 attackers can the defenders use drones to attack the attackers while they cannot use drones because the POS cant hit em.
That creates inbalance and unfairness. Fix it or allow it. Or improve AI coding.

then CCP need to come up with an anit drone weapon that can be applied to POS - why wasnt this throught of before or a drone bay on POS that can attack other drones only. Perhaps allowing up to 1000 drones to be stored and deployed in case of an attack.
Or if you want to nerf drones where POS are concerned simply make them unable to work in a 100km radius around POS (however if the defendingship that comes to help a corp POS for example) is a dominix or drone carrier that is also a drawback that it has to rely on ship weapons to repel an invasion (though with the POS guns) that should be even.
COmmon CCP give us a solution quickly to this

I think its all a misunderstanding no one offically has commented on it which means until something is done just go right ahead

solo POS operators always take the risk - there are pirate corps that go round busting small POS just for fun and they dont use drones.
If you want a POS at least start youre own corp recruit players that will aid u and do it as a corp thing. At least then defense is a little easier.

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)

well if its an exploit lets see CCP take a proactive lead and add modules to POS that simulate a effect that renders all drones unworkable - unlaunchable within 100km of a POS - applies to both attackers or defenders using them
OR add POS weapons that specifically target and shoot drones while he big guns target the player ships. Its easy enough to add a tag to the AI that says if its a player drone dont shoot it shoot with the big guns the player hsips - and with anti drone weapons shoot drones only.
Would expand the weapons choices for POS - add POS drones that engage other drones. Or smartbombs on POS that can also attack drones within a 10km radius - a programmingsolution would be easy enough to implement

well dominix is still good for fitting mining lasers and high end mining drones :)

ohmite we have no way of knowing if a dev did or did not say something as there has been no offical response to this thread so its all heresay - the discussion has been based on if it is a exploit - though some ideas ie POS carrying anti drone drones - smaller guns - making drones unable to be launched within 50-100km of a POS
So at least some good has come of this thread. But its all conjecture at this point lets not draw conclusions from incomplete information

alternatively a smartbomb that fries all drones within a 20km radius and cycles every 3-5 minutes. or random cycles could be another avenue for new POS anti drone weapons

yeah well there hsa been no GM or dev post on this thread so as it stands if you want to attack a POS go right ahead and use drones untilt hey fix it so POS can either disable drones within 100km or fit anti drone drones or guns.
That is all
