Not just Gallente, but every ship that us totally dependent on drones to kill frigs/intys. IE Torp Raven in a mission.

Well at least this thread made me laugh since the server node death has queues over 5 mins at gates and I cant go test them out. I agree completely with the 3 simple drone AI steps recorded above which is exactly how drones seemed to behave before the patch.

They even fell back into the old habit of humping each other.
But in an improved form: different drones with different speed do it now too!

The cause for this is not yet known, but we do have a possible fix in testing.

My drones:
Refuse my orders really often
Orbit the enemys but don't shoot!
And as a early christmas present one of my drones just attack me during my mission the spy stash 
Great fix

Must be the dastardly self aware drones out in the new regions doing it! Rarely ever had drone problems until the Rev1 patch and now they act like a bunch of 6 year olds with too much soda in them with all the running around and not listening.. The workaround seems to be to give them the order you want them to do 3 times in a row and that gets them with the program.. Usually..

Yes, there are many many MANY issues that need to be addressed with drones.
-It's a pain in the ass for them to attack the targets you want. Even if they worked the way they are supposed to, the interface is insanely clunky. Their needs to be hotkeys to get drones to attack certain targets.
-Using repair drones on another ship is a hostile action? Come on.
-This whole "bug fix" of drones no longer attacking targets that you own is not needed, and causes more problems than it fixes. There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to tell my drones to attack my own loot if I wanted them too.
-Something needs to be done to address the "I'm gonna instantly regen my drones shield by scooping them and then launching them again" exploit.
-When are we going to see how much damage our drones do? Or are we going to have to test them on our friends until the end of time?
-Finally, would it really be that hard to have an option that allows drones to automatically return to ship once it starts warping?
If you're really going to pretend that drones are supposed to be retarded because they are controlled by AI. You should at least provide us with some realistic AI options for drones. For example, "attack nearest hostile" , "attack largest ship", "repair most damaged ship" , "return to drone bay if damaged." That way we wouldn't even about drones not adhearing to our micromanagement because we wouldn't have to micromanage them anymore.

I never had any problems with drones prior to today's patch, but now they all have minds of their own.
As soon as you try and target something new, they will stop whatever they are doing and attack the new target instead.
Sometimes they seem to be just orbiting your chosen target without firing at all, and others they all bugger off in different directions and do their own thing.
Maybe they've formed their own union and are working to rule?

If this isn't hotfixed by tomorrow, I may have to set a long skill training and check back in after next tuesday's patch. With drones as my primary weapon, I'm pretty neutered by this bug.

I had a new bug: I lost my drone. Suddenly I have 4 instead of 5 Ogres in space. I thought it got killed by rats but no. It was sitting 10km from me. I had to scoop it back manually.
Looks like drones code is a neverending story for CCP.

Don't bother. It's still bugged.

Since some time after dragon, I thought drones were working just fine. Today though, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Hey guys, lets orbit that frig and moon him for a while!"
"This is getting boring, lets all scatter and attack different targets!"
"WTF is our owner telling us to return to the drone bay? Screw that! Lets orbit him for a while and make him scoop us!"

If people's guns were not attacking their targets, or if missiles randomly switched targets there would be a hot fix almost immediately. Why the double standard with drones?

I had to go and physically pick up two ogres at 10k because they got stuck on each other, and refused to come closer then 10km when issued the return and orbit or to bay commands. Also, when attacking it appears that only three of five are firing, and the damage inflicted suggests this.
I'm seeing the same exact thing. A small percent of the time all 5 of my drones orbit a target and do not shoot at ALL. The rest of the time the orbit a target and only some shoot, severly reducing the DPS. 100% of the time I have to order them 2-3 times to attack a target, since they've all split up and attacked anything they like.
I'm growing more annoyed with this game every day. Between CCP's recent poor decisions and lack of quality assurance, I've taken to playinf a lot more BF1942 and Civilization IV. For a game that's almost 4 years old, it is by far the buggiest "end product" game that I've ever seen (from the softwarre AND the hardware ends)

I always seem to get 2 drones "stuck together" aswell
While its not game breaking it makes me panic 'cos i always think something has aggro''d and popped one!
THey are truley in sorry state and if they got any worse id say they would be useless for anything "aimed" and just a random damage add to the main guns.
I lost 2 Hammerhead II cos of them deciding to wander off 10s of Km to attack sentry guns and turrets and not listen to my "come home darling" commands
anyway sure it will be fixed soon, back to pre kali, slight anoyence levels.

Tbh its been like this for so long and all threads which talk about drone issues never have any response from Devs or anyone up top.. no offense but they just dont. Its getting to be an ongoing pain that doesnt want to go away. It comes to something when you have to consider only using T1 drones instead of your shiny new T2 drones because you dont want to waste your hard earned isk on them just going awol and getting eaten.
Since Rev my drones are more random with their actions.. ie they either reluctantly shoot at the selected target or they neglect that target and choose another locked target..
I dont have much knowledge on how they are programned but surely someone up top can see the problems we are having? Just a pitty that a good backup tactic that drones should be seems just to be a random set of circumstances which may or may not work in your favour. I would ask nicely if this could be looked into but with all due respect i dont think its top of CCP's agendas.. anyways thats my little speech on drones over.. maybe something else will cross my mind later on

Comedy gold that the drones have been ****** up since years - more or less. The neglect is turning into sabotage and insult to all droneusers ffs :(
Oh my, the outcry if missiles would ve behaved anything close to this ****. Just imagine: a cruise altering or losing target midfligt or it even decides turning on the ship that launched it? Ouch...
C'mon CCP, get your thing together once and for all with the damn drones - it s late already.

I take back what I said earlier.. My dumb ass forgot to try again after the patch.. After fooling around with them in a plex full of rats they did exactly as told.. they still have issues with docking when they chase your ship though.. not as bad as before but still 1 or 2 left trailing.. So all in all post patch test has them working just dandy for me..

THE DRONES ARE GOING ROGUE!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!! YOUR VERY OWN DRONES TARGETING YOU IS PROOF!!! Ok, in all seriousness now, they seemed better tonight when I was using them. Maybe it has something to do with lag? This was just a personal observation I had.
