yea, everyone knows that drones are totally stupid and generally dont work. this as said is probabily down to the coding but its obvious after what now? 10 pages...
ccp is either working on the problem now, or have decided its not worth looking at.
sorry to disapoint but if they havnt made a post or something saying their working on it, im guessing its the "not worth looking at" option.

Have they said anything yet?
Something about assumptions makes an ******* out of you or somehting.
Also i just lost 10m in drones because they didnt want to return to me in a mission.
Can i petion that?

its worth a try, but the chance of the petition being returned is low. the last time i tried it (after loosing 5 hammerhead II's) they said their was nothing that could be done.
anyhow, good luck.

When recalling drones to your drone bay, they should go at the max' speed, not the same speed as your ship, (If slower).
O.o
I've noticed this happens alot when im flying the ishkur. ;(

For a short time (around RMR I think), drones basically had their 'intelligence' turned right off... they'd attack only what you told them to, then return to orbit... this may have been in response to people's complaints about gang-members being attacked...
I actually liked that. I'd have much fewer issues if drones simply acted like mobile guns that didn't care if you were being shot at by something else. Until drones AI can actually be improved, perhaps they should not have an aggro list at all (again).
Since I'm training for a carrier now, I would like to have some assurance my 20 mill fighters won't end up as stupid as my ogres are currently.
Waoh! Thats -IT-. I love it .... I'm sure devs aren't giving us smarter drones for two reasons; they are woried about imbalence and the actuall time to write/perfect the new code. So screw it, I think dumber drones may solve the problem easier than smarter ones.
Brilliant idea, Mr Friendly, you get a gold star. =)

EDIT: On second thought, I do like the fact that when I get jammed, the drones still fight on thier own.
I'm pvm mostly, so it's not the end of the world when I get jammed. Obviously, it did suck when you were jammed and your drones didn't continue to kill the oppossing player. The problem is that they attack whatever they feel like and in pvm, that usually means they end up aggressing another previously non-hostile group at some point. Usually the group with the scramblers in it

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. 
You've evidently never tried POS combat.

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).

POS combat isnt combat, its enless hours grinding with other blobby friends. It aint pvp. Its crap.

/bump
among many other problems with drones most evil are:
1. no mvd-ing on return (sometimes)
2. slow down and stop at short "unpickable" distance from the ship on return (very often)
3. random target aggro (all the times)
4. lag-influenced and absolutely not comfortable and slow control (pesky submenues), which give plenty room to occassional mistakes and repeats as well. But worst of all is when game go laggy u suck = cant operate menus at all.
at least these four makes me lost my ISK again and again.

It's no good just shutting your eyes CCP. It won't go away until you fix it.
What ever came of the dev hired solely for fixing the drones?

lost yet another hammerhead2 tonight because of buggy drone AI (despite my valiant and attentive control attempts).
fix the damn drones, CCP.
Please.
If you need more cash to do it, I'll happily send a one time fee of 5 U.S.D. to help out... I'm sure at least 1000 other players would do the same, if it meant you could afford the programming time to positively fix the issues.

Just read through pretty much all of this, and, what seems like every drone user gets - There ARE problems.
Why cant CCP fix it? we and this in my eyes is quite a big thing....we PAY for this game and as paying customers i think we expect and deserve some sort of answer, if you had faulty toaster you would take it back to be fixed.
Please CCP we pay for a service and would like some idea that it is being worked on.

Fix the Show Info on drones so I can check their stats. I'm not even sure if my trained skills do anything.
If there was a bug in a drones skill I'd never know to petition it...
Sorry, I don't have much time to read the whole thread, but I agree with most of what i've read so far, so please fix drones
Also a /bump
PS. I'm gonna petition it if no dev replies

Wonder if the devs have a sweepstake going for when we'll get bored and let this thread die?

After having tried 'drone tanking' to deal with drone aggro bugs, I must add a hearty /signed to this list.
Even spamming commands at my drones non-stop only has an effect part of the time. How about we even thigns out and have guns randomly attack targets for a while to keep things balanced if drone AI can't be fixed any time soon?

...anyone else have the problem of drones going on vacation from your drone bay?
this is what happened to me yesterday. i was warping into a mission with an acceleration gate, so i stopped at the gate to make sure i had my full complement of drones, which i did. i then hit the acceleration gate, and when i dropped out of warp on the other side, i had no drones. i was much confused, and as such concluded my drones had either gone on vacation and neglected to tell me, or were hiding somewhere having a sandwich.
regardless, daily bump from me.

I find it funny how theirs 10 pages, but over 1 of these are *Bump* threads.
i disagree with the "drones need a boost" title of this thread. however Drones do need a FIX!  it is silly i totally agree.
i scouted the 10 pages of this post, but i may have missed something. did ccp actually post on this yet?

If they had, there'd be a yellow stripe down the side of the entry in the forum.
And as for my two pence - I've been here since beta. I'm fairly sure the drone AI code hasn't been updated since drones were introduced. At all.

That's OK then, as nowhere in the thread title or OP does it say "drones need a boost".
