What happened to drones? Today status seems like we went back to a few patches. Drones refuse to obey orders, I tell them to attack one target they change it and decide to go after another, I look the other way they all over the place, they crawl back to ship. Is this a bug or a feature?

I'm just happy I'm not Gallente and I'm not greatly affected by this... But it's still annoying when I get aggro'd by stuff when I tell the drones to attack a different ship, and then I tell my drones to come back, and they don't, then die. Wasn't the blood patch supposed to fix this?

Drones are worse now then ever, they randomly attack gang-members in 0.0.

yeah, can't believe we are still trying to 'fix' drones. this has been going on since I started playing the game, surely one of them knows how to get the code right?

Does it happen all the time? How often does it happen?

IIRC they attack what you have selected, not what you have targeted.

Was doing a level 4 mission with some corpies last night, and all their drones kept assaulting my apoc after they killed a target, mine kept attacking one person and only that person. Even though I didn't have him targetted, selected or heck, in my screen.

It's not a bug it's stealth balancing!

My absolute favourite is in PvP:
You've killed someone and all of a sudden the drones go and attack the nearby station causing the sentry guns to open up on you...
Man, that really ****ed me off.
Am I forced to have any regret?

That's hilarious, good one. 
Please don't disrespect drones. Many of my drones have died with honor while engaging the enemy.

Yeah, drones are a bugger atm. The return to drone bay often causes them to block eachother, making them move at a crawl. But return and orbit works. Also, my drones don't attack anything unless I order them to. Havn't done any gang work since patch tho, but they should attack other rats.

They look buggered atm, but in the last months I hadn't had this problem, there was a patch that fixed even the return to dronebay command, now it seems it's all bad again.

Never had it happen to me. I'd be a few un-armed haulers short if it did. I think it might have something to do with erraneous agression checks since my non-agressing hauler always get away unharmed.

The Return to Dronebay command takes forever to be completed... Once they're in the 1.5km range, they slow down to hell.

The only problem I've had with my drones since the patch has been the Return to Bay order.
Drones no longer aggro on everything in range, only what you've shot at or has shot at you.
Drones keep their speed up most all the time now, and respond quickly to change orders. If you don't tell them what to kill after they have killed something, well, that's your own fault for not managing them, and they'll go after their own choice, but only on something that has aggro on you.
If you let them return to you passively, they hardly ever lock up and slow down. If you use the Return and Orbit command, they usually work ok. If they lock up with the Return to Drone Bay order, you can select them indiviually and reissue the order, and they come right on in.
Drones are much better for me post patch. Two thumbs up.
