smallgreenblur	Posted - 2006.02.08 13:42:00 - [1] Ok this has probably been mentioned before but i was just looking at the carrier thread and decided this deserved a thread of its own. Drones do not operate the way they should. If you click 'return and orbit' or 'return to drones bay' after the targeted ship is blown up they return and happily orbit 100-300ms out of scoop to drone bay radius. If you are currently aligned to warp this is rather irritating. Also all the mwd problems, etc etc. Please fix. love sgb
smallgreenblur	Posted - 2006.02.08 15:02:00 - [2] I guess i'm the only one getting these problems then, since nobody seems to want to support me :( Or maybe nobody loves me. Cmon guys if we all complain at once it might even get looked at! sgb
Miklas Laces	Posted - 2006.02.08 15:09:00 - [3] It's not possible that devs are not already aware of the many issues with drones.
Paigan	Posted - 2006.02.08 15:15:00 - [4] Edited by: Paigan on 08/02/2006 15:15:57 Edited by: Paigan on 08/02/2006 15:15:27 The funny thing is: teh drone AI trouble never stops. Although getting slightly better from patch to patch, there seem to get even new bugs in drone behaviour. I try to imagine how many lines of code the drones already ate up. And then, i always ask myself why they don't simply condensate all launched drones of one type to one drone swarm unit. Noone ever commands single drone(type)s to different targets. But it would be easier to code, less server charging and even more realistic. Uhh well. Did i lose myself again in dreaming of logical thinking? My fault -.- -- This game is still in beta stage
smallgreenblur	Posted - 2006.02.08 15:42:00 - [5] Originally by: Miklas Laces It's not possible that devs are not already aware of the many issues with drones. Of course, however i'd like them to concentrate on this as a major game problem, before fixing anythng else like gamg balance, which are not bugs. Hence the whining :) sgb
Porro	Posted - 2006.02.08 15:50:00 - [6] Has anyone ever bug reported drones being silly, the stopping just out of scoop range, return to drone bay only working for 2-3 drones, or the drones not using their mwd on return/attacking new targets after they've auto selected one? PS nerf j0sephine.
lasarith	Posted - 2006.02.08 16:05:00 - [7] my drones just seemed to stop dead after they have no more rats to kill -and on a few occation i have had to travel to them to scoop them up -pain when thier 20-40km away.

Tuxford	Posted - 2006.02.08 16:43:00 - [9] Check this thread for known drone issues. If you have some more post in that thread. If it makes you feel any better I can stop all my work until these issues are resolved. It won't speed up the process as I can't really fix those issues but there are a bunch of computer games I haven't played yet and I would love to be able to play EVE more. Oveur wrote a bit about how EVE isn't just a single mass of programmers that all try to fix bugs infact you can read all about it here _______________

Never used to have these problems. Maybe it's now i have less lag i notice more I know you guys are really busy and all. I'll go back to my corner and wait again. sgb

No they don't. Watched my gang mate 5000ms from me struggle with his drones only the day before yesterday. sgb

Watched my gang mate 5000ms from me struggle with his drones only the day before yesterday.sgb They work perfectly for me when ganged. When they kill something, they don't pick new targets. They always use the MWD when given a return or attack command and when flying back to you, since they used their MWD they tend to end up close enough to dock.

Commander Nikolas	Posted - 2006.02.08 20:01:00 - [15] The RMR drone AI toast was intentional. The devs had numerous dev blogs about how they need to "re-do" the drone AI because of server lag that Caldari agent runners had to deal with. Since drones are a primary weapon of Gallente and not Caldari they had no problem killing their AI. Remember it dosen't matter if all us Gallente lose 200 DPS for half the fight because our drones don't use their MWDs anymore, etc. Eve is all about a Caldari pilot in his Raven doing agent missions.

Thetis	Posted - 2006.02.08 20:33:00 - [18] Originally by: Paigan Noone ever commands single drone(type)s to different targets. umm, I do... If something aggro's my drones, I tend to recall the one thats being shot & remote repair it... less travelling time for the rest of them.
Mnengli Noiliffe	Posted - 2006.02.09 10:46:00 - [19] How are we supposed to test/reproduce drone speed bugs if test client doesn't show their speed on overview?? TQ does that btw. Oh well it's possible visually at least (sometimes say 3 drones do use mwd and 2 others forgot about it, and if they all are going from the same target to the same new target, it's possible to see), but, not for uber fast orbiting lights which thus don't do any damage...
