The one thing in common with this and the other incident is that both victims were refitting at the time.
It's possible that the drone hit you at the exact moment that the server recalculated your ship's resistances, etc. and as a result it did way more damage than it was supposed to.
There was no way the dread could refit. It was hostile and neutral to every carrier on field. In fact it was in the process of murdering said carriers.
Also if you noticed, it was a WASP that did 20k damage. A single wasp can never ever do 20k damage, regardless if the ship has 0% resistances or not.
DO NOT REIMBURSE.

This guy is lying thus he is trying to exploit ccp for a new dread. Ban his account.

Jesus dude, calm down. You guys lost 4 of your carriers, get over it. First, I think it's established that the rev was refitting. OP was mistaken. Given that OP is not the rev pilot, that's forgivable. It also means that the guy posting has no rev to get back. And given that the rev pilot, even more than most WHers, is rich as ****, this really is not about getting a dread back for free. Not that I would expect rational thought to have any kind of impact on a on someone apparently calling for a person to be banned for reporting a bug/exploit?
The issue here, and it is a reasonable one, is that a handful of Wasps should not, mathematically, be able to alpha a dread through 10-15% armor and all his structure. Whether this had something to do with refitting or not matters only in so far as it helps to identify where the bug occurred. It does not de-legitimize the complaint. There is clearly something wonky going on, and it needs to be addressed by CCP. And it needs to be done publicly, because CCP (as much as I love their hard work) have a bad habit of taking private reports of things that are not every day events and going "Meh, too hard, back to designing new eye candy..." and ignoring it until a titan gets killed or a R&K video gets made and everyone learns about it.
It was probably not done intentionally, that doesn't mean it doesn't need to be fixed. That said, they very likely could have been your Wasps, so maybe the level of shouting you are doing indicates it was intentional? Because if it was, if you in some way intentionally exploited a bug you knew about, then that would be a ban worthy offense. But a goon would never intentionally exploit a bug for personal gain would they?
CCP gave us mobile depots, expecting them to be used in exactly this way. There is no indication that they intentionally came with an insta-random-self-destruct button.
