no we have not received any acknowledgement, since devs seem to be too busy to even spare 5 minutes for us saying that they care and work on it

I just lost a Dominix on a lev 3 mission because the stupid drones aggro things far out of their range and that Im not even aware of..
And even tho I kept clicking for them to return as soon as they were done with the designated target, they still
managed to get all the rats in the vicinity to attack me. Great fun.
Can this PLEASE get a fix this so the drones dont just start 3rd world war every time they get a chance to?
Not to mention the fact they get stuck on each other all the time and such.

hmm English isn't my natural language so forgive my grammar'faults :p
most of drones'problems have been told and I confirm them. So, I will just talk about my experience with my drones (I always web my target so my drones are ALWAYS faster)
On NPC DareDevil, my Ogres have destroyed his shield and half of his armor before stopped damaging him :/ I needed to hit the "returning to the ship" and "attack" buttons 2 times to damage him and kill him. (It's happened 2 times)
On NPC Merlin webifier, my hammerhead didn't damage this frig, no matter what i tried to do :/ I warped out, fitted guns, and killed him like that ...
So here my question, When we could trust in our drones like in our guns or missiles ?

BTW ..another bug, "drone groups" in overview disappearing often after leaving station etc. Add that to the "to fix" list please.
And the fact that some rats, like Mercenary Wingman, Serpentis Veterans etc.. are difficult to kill with small/med drones with drones skills almost maxed out in a Dominix (given all the bonuses) - whats that about?

Damn, I hate my drones. And not becouse CCP "nerf" them.
Becouse they are more stupid every patch.
I go to mission. Launch 5 drones. OK they start attacking target, fine, target dies. and what drones do? They attack what ever they like, but what is strange they like to attack targets which are far away, instead of attacking closes targets. Result -> I got agro of all NPC in complex. I barly escaped on structure. (lvl 4 mission, Silence The Informant stage 2).
I think there should be option regarding drones like:
1. aggresive drones (berserk mode )
2. defend mode (attack when attacked)
And other thing, drones flying 300m/s instead of ~900 makes me angry as hell.
My BS fly faster.
Pleace CCP start FIXING drones.
At least your drones are attacking other targets after the first one pops. Mine decide to go after structures in space, and not only do they go after structures all of them go to a different target.. Plus the return and orbit command seems to really be the GO SLOWER THAN HELL AND GET HERE 5 Days Later command...
Drones have become a real Pain in the ass. and personally i think that if the wasps can actually hit something than dont change it at least 1 type does something usefull..
Really a shame that the 2 weeks maxing the skills was a total waste of time..

Say please, or CCP won't fix anything. Jeez, pushy players.
Or you can do what most everyone else is doing - Get over it. It's not a big deal, certainly doesn't break the game.

To fix the drones (for now) form a gang. It can be a solo gang so if you gang a corp mate & they refuse it will still work or it can be aproper gang.
This (for some reason) stops the drones from going off & doing their own thing.
Originally by: Heavenly Explorer
Well such features arnt going to be added anytime soon. In the mean time you might want to take a look at : http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=269191
that solution doesnt work for me.. (my alt runs around and picks up loot) and yes we are ganged.. even my hammer head IIs are ****e. flying around at 500m/s not the 1800 or so they should be doing. and ive always had problems with drone agroing other groups.. i hope a better, more accurate solution is found

Wasp Drones have an exploit with their tracking speed? Lets get right on it! Who cares about the other bugs all drones are suffering, we've an exploit to fix!
Frankly I don't see why they can't work on all of it. I see drones that have shot their 'AI' out their afterburners as just as much of problem if it's causing people to lose good isk when thier ship get destroyed. Just hope that CCP take notice of this thread and some of the great suggestions that have come up.

I found the post CCP made about the Wasp's pretty funny too.
Exploit? Yea, a heavy drone that can actually track and hit something smaller then a Cruiser, omg lets get right on nerfing that!
Wish they would show the same attention to all the other problems with drones that were mentioned.

ROFL. I do find this quite amusing. I don't have the time spent or the Skills to do what some of you can, But Aren't ogres suppose to be a Heavy drone? Meaning that it has the ability to attack a Frigate Like a Dom does?
Dom Is Gallente. Master of the drones. Their specialization. Their best feature in skills. Thats why we train the skill up so far cause the Dom is supposed to be the best for Drones. After all, I mean, That is the bonus to the Dom.
The way I see it they just ruined the Gallente race. Like when the missiles got nerfed. Caldari pretty muched Sucked A**!! Now, its been turned to the Gallente in the Drones. Now The Dom is gonna go all out Attack in Vespas. WOOT for medium drones.
Thorax. It stills says its a good ship cause of the drone capacity. For what drones? Alcolytes? WOOOOOO now there is a look into the future.
I love this game. I have a blast. Im not leaving. It looks as though CCP is trying to make it where you have to gang to do missions.
All I know for sure, IMHO, is that Vespas do more damage than the ogres on any ship. ANY ship. Even BS's. Now making the Wasps like the ogres. LOL. Toooooo funny.
But thats not all they nerfed. Anyone know about the bardges? Yeah, I know. Cause I don't mine as much ore anymore either. They cut that down. Interesting way of making the new stuff look better. Just nerf the old. So basically were getting the new ships to do another month of skills that puts us just a hair above what we were doing. Maybe that is for the drones. I mean........ Get the modules to enhance your drones would put them back up to where they were wouldn't it? But that would take away your slots for your hybrides and other needed slots. So you get a choice. Drones or Dom? Not sure but that is just how I see it. After all. I only got around 4 months. But the small drones have the same probs as the big ones. Except for being able to hit something.
Anyway. I hope CCP fixes this. But I thought this is why they have a TEST server. well... thats what it says anyway.
But Hey,,,,,, I got a free expansion :P

In http://myeve.eve-online.com/updates/patchnotes.asp there is no line about fixing drones returning to dronebay speed
CCP simply ignores us..

All the above observations about drones are true.
Drones stick and become crippled
Drones do not follow commands
Drones travel at strange speeds, some fast some slow
Drones aggro distant targets for no reason
Drones do not always return to bay, rather they "keep distance" just outside scoop range.
Please can we have a drone AI that does what it says in the drone descriptions.. they attack the selected target then move on to the next target in the stack, we don't want AI drones, we want stupid drones that follow orders.
Signed, I agree 110%. Especially the bugs about not returning to drone bay but staying just outside of scoop range annoys the hell out of me. And the fact that light drones seem to have this "move really slow and don't return to drone bay" the most..

alright, im having the speed problem as well and its starting to **** me off. My drones take forever to get to a new target and when that's all you are using its annoying. Also ive had incidents where i webbed a target and the drones couldnt hit it...which is completely wrong...pls someone fix this already!

Drones are a little slow, so I pay more attention to them than I do to my guns. They also have a tendency to attack structures unless told otherwise.
You'll notice a slight delay between when you give them a command and them changing course to follow it. To me it seems as if they have time slots in which they process their commands and a new command is only looked at every few seconds. Thus, I usually command all my drones to attack one ship and once that nears destruction I get ready to command the drones against the next one. So far I did not have a problem with that.
The one thing that annoys me most is the already mentioned slowdown when they return to the ship. I have the impression that this was added to combat the effect that moving towards the drones sometimes caused them to miss the range where they can enter the bay again. I usually reverse course and manually approach the drones then, slowing down does not help.

I'm beginning to regret the extra million skillpoints I've trained in drones since Tuxford said RMR would give them a boost, not a nerf... In theory, they should now be better than before, hit harder, last longer etc. In practice they just aggress everything in sight, then sit 2km off my ship and eat popcorn while I get pounded. I would have been better off training tanking skills so I could at least ride the storm after the drones sic the whole level on me!
That's 1.9 million skillpoints (and counting) I just won't use in PvE...

CCP propobly dont care about it, why? Becouse most of ppl fly ravens, tampests, .... interceptors.
And from what I see everything lead to make Interceptors more and more uber (missile nerf, drone nerf).
Doubt CCP will fix it anytime soon.

Im getting tired of that game, every patch more bugs. And more nerfs. And more ... skilling.
You have to skill more to do the same before patch.

I wonder how many topics and replies in them will have to be made untl somebody wil FINALLY AT LEAST MAKE A COMMENT regarding drone problems...
Say when there is going to be released a patch that fixes these problems. If there are any plans or u just have on mind that these problems exist and will take care of them in the nearest future....
You are leaving players without comments or informations making them more and more annoyed and comedowned. :(

From what I've experienced so far, when you command your drones to return to bay and you have a mixed batch...the larger drones return at top speed where as the smaller ones seem to go at a snail's pace.
It's almost as if the slow you go they try and match your speed then when you stop in hopes your drones will return sooner they go even slower. I've watched them fly at literally 10 m/s.

Bumping with more input.
I was just in a mission from which I had to warp out a few times (don't quite have the hang of it yet).
Anyway, both times I had to leave drones behind, once because one decided to crawl back to the ship and I didn't have time to wait, and the other because all drones were within 1.6km or so, but two of them decided to just stop at the fringe of entering my bay. Again, I couldn't wait. 3 drones wasted.
So yeah, to recap:
* Drones slow down during combat if you tell them to go after a different target than what they were going after before
* Drones sometimes slow to a crawl on their way back to the drone bay
* Some drones STOP at the drone bay and don't enter even if your ship is only travelling very slowly.
Keep this bumped until we hear something from CCP, and keep posting examples. Drones aren't useless, but their unpredictability isn't helping. At all. I'd be nicer, but I'm no longer on trial and I'm paying for my game time.
