The agro mechanics were made very clear before they were added to the game. You chose to use something you obviously didn't understand and paid the consequences. Aside from the fact that this is a known mechanic, you can't glance sideways at the forums without seeing someone else that didn't bother to read up on something new they decided to use. It's everywhere, and you still didn't pay attention. All the MTU does is encourage people to put their drones on passive and make them manually attack. This has the terrible side effect of making people have actually pay a small bit of attention to the game while running missions, I know it's almost too much to handle. Numerous people have been told by GMs it is a bug. Oops, smartass post seeming less smart?
tbh I'd ignore Morrigan LeSantes' response as they appear to have no idea themselves.
While I'm not arguing that GM's may be saying that, if they are I can't help but feel they are wrong in saying so and poorly trained.
From the devblog on the safety system: http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/73996
Quote:Your new safety system has three states: enabled, partially disabled and disabled.
- While ENABLED, you cannot commit any kind of illegal act
- While PARTIALLY DISABLED, you can commit acts that will get you a suspect flag, but not those that would get you a criminal flag
- While DISABLED, you can do anything you like, up to and including criminal acts
There appears to be a misunderstanding between noobs and players about what the colours actually mean and general aggression mechanics.
Green does not mean it will stop you attacking other players. You can be in null sec and leave it green and you can still shoot people without it stopping you like it would in hi-sec. It is not a 'stop me shooting another player button'
What it does mean is in hi-sec it will stop you doing any action that would flag you as a criminal (and thus get concorded)
Yellow, stops you doing stupid things that would flag you criminal, but still allows you do to things that flag you suspect.
Red is off, you can flag suspect or go criminal and get concorded.
Now, the big you are all failing to understand is, by shooting the MTU the hostile player flagged as suspect.
Shooting a suspect will flag you into a limited engagement with the suspect.
THIS IS NOT A CRIMINAL ACT, nor will it flag you as suspect. This is why when your safey is green it isn't preventing the drones from engaging. By attacking the MTU they're technically attacking you, thus the drones auto attack (because you are stupid and told them to by setting them aggressive.)
the entire enemy support fleet is dead except for one interdictor a titan could easily finish off with drones
