Hi,
I'm just starting to use drones for mining and combat, but I keep forgetting to scoop them back to ship before warping back to dock or to another system. What happens to the drones I leave behind? Can I return to where I abandoned them and pick them up or are they lost forever? Also is there any automatic collection mechanism? Any help would be appreciated as my absent mindedness is getting quite costly!

You can pick them up again, just fly close to the drones and you can select Scoop to Dronebay.
You have to scoop the drones 1 by 1
But be aware that everyone can scoop up those drones if you leave them.
Not sure what the timer is on those drones before they disappear.

Your drones stay put so you simply have to return to where you left them and scoop them back up.
However, they can also be scooped up by other players, but there is a timer where the drones remain active to you so no-one else can scoop them up until the timer expires and the drones become inactive. I'm not sure how long the timer runs for. So if you are quick you can return and scoop up your drones before anyone else can.
NO, NO, You fools... Can't you see... That's exactly what they want you to do... |

just so you know, drones never dissapear of old age. Only reason they dissapear is if some npc's kill them or another player scoops.
