simply because there are so many drone problems that ccp wont be fixing in this new patch, They even think theres a drone exploit  so heres a list of my demands
1: make sure when drones are recalled to drone bay they do just that not sit just out side range sulking 
2: make sure drones attack the target you selected for them not the ones they dicide they want to shoot
3: that drones that do not attack new spawns dont auto agro them for no reason
these are very old issues now and should have been adressed in this patch, so why is ccp ignoring them

CCP has already shown they have no interest in fixing drones. These problems have been around for over a year and still no fix. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Dont foget about new very irritating bug.
When you send drones on target which is far away like 40km from drones (not you), they will break persute after 30km, and start shooting random targets(other npc etc).

sounds like a prob with the drone agumentor, seen some threads on it in ships and mods

Why do your drones show no changes in stats on the info link

Yeah I've seen the drones abandon their target and start attacking random enemy ships too, and they're not out of range.

Your demands are noted 
1.
light drones sticking to each other when they return to the ship is high on the priority list for the next kali patch.
2.
Fixing drones aggroing what they're not supposed to is also high on the priority list.
3.
If drones attack an npc that just spawned, then it's because the npc aggroed them.
4.
Yeb, totally aggree, it needs fixing. Can't promise anything about this one though.

I'd like to see my drones speed / transversal in the damn overview ... they took it out a while ago I know not for what reason ... but it would be nice to see the effects of my skills as my drones go faster ...
Anyhow my 2c.

Not only light drones have this problem, I've had it with heavy drones as well. But hopefully the reason is the same and will be fixed for all drones.
Oh and there is another bug - drones orbit velocity is affected by drone navigation skill and drone navigation computers. This causes them to miss while orbiting as their tracking is balanced for base orbit velocity.

overview setting, there is "apply only to ships" checkbox somewhere. Remove it and you will see drones' velocity. Not transversal though.

i agree that the trasverial whatisname, is out of sink with its orbital whatsimacallit, and should b adress, how ever i would like to know if drone sharpshooting increases the orbiting range to compinstat or not also what size drones are you using, i find i have no probs hitting small frigs with small drones, like wise meds with cruisers and heavys with cruisers and up.
so im not sure that theres really a problem there, but i would like to here the dev side of thing, but i think most ppls probs are to do with not being able to change drones fast enough which is of course down to our number one bug issue

Seems like an easy fix to the drone scoop problem is to increase drone scoop range to 2500 meters. Problem fixed.

Didn't know about that one, i'll check it out.
Guess i'll have to check this for all the newer drones as well.
p.s. Yes i know fighters have the same problem.

At least the Drone Gang gank bug has been fixed recently, far worse than some of the other bugs when teamworking imo, certainly more embarassing although very funny to hear corp m8s yelling on teamspeak for you to recall drones - you should try it hehe :D
As far as the staying out of range goes the simple solution is to not "recall to bay". If you've finished with them and are looting cans, let 'em come back on their own - gives their shields chance to recharge. Otherwise just recall and orbit - never had a "shy drone" yet and once they start orbitting pull 'em back in.
Quick question of my own. Trained Sentry drones last night - Lvl1 no issue, Lvl1 -> Lvl2 3 hrs - got evemail saying I completed Lvl2 only to skill be classed as Lvl1 ? (hmm checked "My Char" and seems to rate me as Lvl2 but wasn't ingame last night - will check when ingame again.

"1. light drones sticking to each other when they return to the ship is high on the priority list for the next kali patch."
I'm not convinced that that is the real problem.
besides, it's not just light drones that do it. I routinely have trouble with my Hammerheads and Ogres as well.
also... only very seldomly do drones MWD back to the ship when you tell them to return to orbit/dock... goes for all kinds of drones I've tried.
I personally didn't start having these problems until I trained in Drone Sharpshooting and Drone Navigation. ... which I find significant.

bumped.
Simple fixes please, CCP:
1.) Drone recall bug: drones "sticking" seems to be caused by them running into each other, causing each one to pause, and retry their return vector to the ship. Can't a simple script be used to stagger the drone recalls? Order->return to drone bay->Drone 1 proceeds to ship->pause 2 seconds->Drone 2 proceeds to ship->pause 2 seconds->etc...
2.) Drone Targetting. At this point I'd just scrap the current code you guys subbed out to China and start fresh. If a game like this can have great "fighter" scripting, then why can't EVE? K-I-S-S
3.) Drone Info: Hire one extra CS major fresh out of college (after the 50 you just put on the crew) and tell him to start on the dynamic drone info tab. No joke, he'd be done in a week. Something like an info tab doesn't need to be put on the test server for a month. Run it by a few coders (hell even the community will debug for ya) and it's ready.
Drones are so cool, guys. Much cooler than anything here, and more important. They deserve better.

That would be great, but its NOT fixed unfortunately. The other night in a mission had two different corp/gang members drones aggro on me. One of the gang members had NOSsed me to gain back from juice, the other had transfered energy to me.
Not sure if the "fix" would have prevented the aggro in the case of the NOS, but in the case of the energy transfer it should have I believe
