Drones aren't broken, guns and missiles are.
We need these issues addressed quickly:-
-Weapons should change targets at random intervals and never all choose the same target.
-Random reloads every couple of minutes seems to broken.
-Weapons are not occasionally becoming unfitted when deactivated at the end of combat.
/sarcasm off
You can bet your buttcheeks if the situation was reversed and guns and missiles really were as messed up as drones it'd be fixed in a week.

Drone AI keeps getting tweaked but the problems never go away.
On top of that drone AI is broken on a fundamental level, they attack targets they haven't been asked to. Unless there is some way to set secondary attack targets or (maybe this is a bit too advanced) give them an attack priorities list similar to the overview, move stuff up the list, down the list, untick the box if drones shouldn't be attacking it at all.
But until our dedicated programmer, who we all pray doesn't quit leaving drones permanently borked as no one knows how to fix his code, can start putting in fancy options for the love of god, get the drones to return and orbit after finishing a target, and get as many people who might have a clue on figuring out why drones are IGNORING orders.
In some cases they get half way there and a couple just change their mind, sometimes they break off from combat before the target is dead... and it really boggles the mind because surely that can't be in the programming.
More love for drones and fighters, there's a lot of potential for extreme coolness going to waste here.

If nothing else, fix that most irritating of bugs where they mwd back to your ship and then just stop 10-15 m short of scooping range, and no matter how much you slow down, they slow down too, so in the end you have to turn around and go get them.
VERY BAD IN PVP. 
take a guess how i lost a ishtar
edit oooh and make it so you can put drones from your cargo hold or can into your drone bay just like you can do with normal ammo thus when you fins some perty drones you can maker use of them
That would allow any ship with a 25m3 dronebay to launch a full set of heavies. We want drones fixed, not broken.
The point is arguable after all you aren't stuck with just the rounds you loaded into your weapons or capacitor boosters when you undock. Dronebay size would still limit what you can simultaneously field and therefore limit effectiveness.
But yeah, frankly I don't care either way at the moment I'd like to see them fixed and the UI improved.
Left-click fitted turrets folder
Right-click Large Hybrid II
Left-click fire repeatedy
Cry while turrets select random targets, aggro the whole room, de-activate at random, etc, etc, etc.
It's great using a second-class weapon system ain't it?

You don't get it. On a ship with 25m3 bay you can put in one heavy, launch it, move a heavy from cargo into dronebay, launch, repeat until you have 5 out. Using your comparision it would be like being able to fit large ammo into a small gun.
I "get it" completely. However did you miss the line in my post that stated:
"Dronebay size would still limit what you can simultaneously field and therefore limit effectiveness."
I thought that explained it sufficiently, but meh...
The drone bay m3 amount would still be the cap on the m3 of drones you can field.
All that aside like I said, it's a small matter compared to the current issues.

Only if they specifically change it to be that way, because this isn't the case right now. The way you write it implies that it is.
That's how I interpretted that too, by using 'still' I assumed no further change to the mechanics.
Fudge me! A small off-hand comment and people feel the need to pick it apart. I shall be sure in future to write in full every change to the code that is required by any suggestion and not over-estimate the intelligence of my fellow community members and their ability to imply a change without having it spelt out for them.
Back on topic, my drones are still borked, and this thread is back on page two. UNACCEPTABLE!

Collision with drones is not just a bad idea it's downright strange. How is it that one of my light drones can send my tier 3 battleship spinning like a top?

Moved to ships and modules...
Now this is odd, very little in EvE doesn't involve ships and modules. Except drones aren't actually a module.
Now go back to general and move all the titan, mothership, nano, t2 ship, t2 module, etc, etc, etc threads over here.
It's beginning to seem that there is a certain prejudice against discussing drones, mining, and a number of other topics here. Some of these issues have been passed by for YEARS, they will not just go away.
A lot of us are growing tired of topics such as this being consistently ignored while time is found to make mocking posts and jokes in other threads.
A simple "We are aware of your concerns and intend to look into them shortly." would do.
Hell, a "We are aware of your concerns and frankly don't consider it an issue." is better than nothing.

Good point well made... but at least CCP have admitted POS combat is a sham and at least they are planning to make changes to the way the weapons systems work (although they do seem to be distant future ambulation related fixes... but there's hope).
Silence...is...not...golden...
