Seeing everyone is complaining and whining about this, lets review.
If you engage in PVP activity a warning pops up letting you know that everyone and their mom with the same ticker can now attack you.
If your drones do this without your consent, there is no warning, they just fire ( I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair when my guards did it even when I popped I laughed and had a great conversation with the aggressor afterwards.
I will say that I got everything back and had to refund my insurance payment as SOP, so this very well might be an exploit and then again it might not but the fact a DEV moved this post into issues in my experience means its something they are seriously looking at.
And a quick pro tip, to avoid this whole thing set your drones to passive and command them to fire when someone shoots your MTU go pick it up or watch it pop, your choice.
My reasoning against:
again I am not for or against but the last aggressive drone loophole got closed by CCP, and with the same suspect mechanic your drones should autopop Ninja looters but do not, suspect aggression is suspect aggression and all forms should be treated equally and in this case they are not, both the wrecks and MTU's are "owned" by a player and have the same ownership rights so thus should be treated as such.
My reasoning for:
Setting yourself to green means you will not take any action that will make "you" a suspect or criminal, the fact that the aggressor is attacking you and your drones are now choosing to see that as the next high priority target is nominal they will attack and you do not have to change your security setting because this will not cause "you" to be a suspect or criminal they are doing what they do when anything attacks you, they fire.
In this matter because of my two opinions on this matter I would have to lean towards the against, unless all suspect aggression against all owned property is treated the same the MTU should not be different than your personal wreck and drones and mechanics should mirror in both situations.
Again all of the speculation is listed towards my refund of my ship, if I had a message of this is a mechanic that is working as intended like I did when I noticed something with the downtime window and got the this is working as intended message.
Just some food for thought, as you were. :P
