I'm doing missions and where as before drones would attack nearby aggressive targets, they are now running off to target new groups 30+k out.
These groups are agroing me and that's not really the bad part. the bad part is that they agro my drones. This results in their death for something they aren't supposed to do.
And if that's bad here's the worst. we are now forced to retarget our drones after each fight instead of letting them run amok which in turn gives us the super drone cruising speed attack!!!! We shouldn't rely on one bug just to fix another. Nor should we have to recall our drones 20k and send them back out 20k for every ship they kill.
You'd think that in the Xthousandth century of human existance where we have figured out space travel and settled a universe through a wormhole we'd manage more efficient AI on our drones.

Drones have always been like this. If you are not the target of the NPC, then the NPC will target the nearest enemy object it finds. That just happens to be your drones. If you don't want this to happen, let all the NPC's lock you, then unload your drones.

Also, if you use drones and weps together, once you pop one rat at 20km, and fire one shot at the next rat, the drones will automatically acquire what you shoot at (provided they have finished killing what they were attacking). You dont need guns or missiles to make the drones acquire, a neut / nos will do it too. Its one way to make use of PvP weapons when running missions

I have this as well, there is a fix
Form a gang with someone, they dont need to accept it just make sure you are in a gang (even a solo gang). For some reason when the drones are finsihed they will either i) attack the thing you are shooting at or ii) return and orbit. They will not go off and shoot at a non attacked NPC / Player unless you tell them or you shoot at them.
If your not in a gang then they just go off and do their own thing, usually leading to them being left behind when you have to bug out.
