Any idea who the dev is who's been assigned to drones? I would assume they're not responsible for all parts - the "dedicated" dev would I assume be the AI guy.
UI guys - hotkeys? please?

I'm all for the hotkeys, but leave the AI stupid. They're drones. You WANT them dumb. You fight the smart ones in the missions.
Let's look at it this way. Yes, Drones are stupid when not told what to do.
But what do I get out of a Heavy launcher unless I tell it to fire on a target? Nothing.
What do I get out of a heavy launcher if I'm jammed? Nothing unless I use FoF, which won't all hit the same target/right target.
When jammed and left to their own ways, drones are still DPSing. If I send them at a frigate, then get jammed, I sit on my hands waiting for the jamming to end while the drone still plugs away ((Yes, I could fit ECCM. No, I won't for mission running atm, not worth it.))
Hotkeys solve the problem.

I think it's not so much that we need smart AI - it's that we need the drones to do what they're told. "return to ship" - they shouldn't stop and sit just outside scoop range. "attack selected target" - shouldn't choose a different target to attack.
To make them like missiles/guns, they should only attack the specified target, and return to orbit when done with that specific target, not move to another.

Thanks to the new superbly capable EWAR NPC's, I've had the opportunity to observe my drones without guidance for minutes at a time
Seems to me when they're done killing a ship they target the last ship that just shot at you. Now, when mobbed by 40+ NPC's this invariably leads to them heading off on their sweet merry ways and taking on NPC's one on one.
I hope CCP comes up with a way where all 5 drones will go after the same target.... preferable the ships nearest to me! |

Edited by: Sivlar Sylvannathas on 26/03/2007 18:36:33 Hope they fix this at some point, we have only been waiting forever for the various bugs that come with drones to be fixed.
Some of the new missions with the way reinforcements make it just real "fun" to use drones. You know, those with 1 or 2 rats in the pocket that trigger a whole new wave to spawn in as soon as they get attacked.
It's real nice when the full stage aggros cause you launched your drones, tank barely holding, working on the groups being ever so careful not to shoot at or even target the "reinforcement" rat. All your drones are attacking what you told them too, then one decides it would be better to just wander off for no reason and attack that reinforcment spawning rat...
Please for the love of god fix drones already. http://www.placidreborn.net

so sad to see that drones are ignored all this time. been playing for 7 months still they bugged beyond belief
the problem is with the new missions where u get multiple reinforcements warping on u the newly arrived npc's will target your drones and if they fight 30-40 km u can kiss them good bye add the very stupid AI and the fact that im depended on drones, so i feel pretty frustrated.
god knows when they will be fixed

Well, perhaps if we keep this topic on the first page, we'll get some attention. :)
I'm sure they're aware of the issues... it'd be nice to know they're being addressed.

Well up until the last patch I thought drones had been fixed.
Now something has changed.
They REGULALY wont get back in bay.
Send them to attack something and WHEEE they shoot off at top spped and attack, tell them to get back, and they seem to forget they have a MWD, and often hover just out of scoop range forcing you to fly to them somehow.
I dont like complaining (much) but jeeze - its ANOTHER fundamental aspect fo the game which is fked. Stop making new missions, start fixing bugs.
I dont give a sheet about pretty graphics, this could almost be a text only game and i wouldnt care.

May as well add my voice.
Yes drones are very bugged, and have become noticeably more eratic since the last patch. I Find that if the target is 30km and over from the drones, they need to be told to attack it a number of times, otherwise they will do their own thing.
And to be honest with you, this is my sig. |

Standard drones need to be debugged and fighters need to have a comprehensive UI redesign. Fighters should be able to have priorities and formations and all that jazz assigned to them, hell they are supposedly highly advanced, I'd rather have a squadron of well, Fighters than a squadron of goons that you have to prod to move. Considering they are a carriers only weapon... "EVE is the worst MMORPG. Except for all the other ones."

My Drones attack fine actually when i tell them to, I found that making them attack my next target when the current is almost dead works great to keep them in line.
The only thing i have as an issue is If i have different size drones, i.e. light and medium, then the medium gets retarded and doesn't want to come back to the ship when recalled most of the times. The light ones seem to be working fine for me, so do the ECM ones.
But seriously, making them come back quickly should be a priority, as in most cases you retreat them in the last 10 sec when you're about to warp.. and can't take another 20sec of pounding :)

A way to tell them to ignore certain targets would be nice too. I'm afraid to use anything but heavies in sections that have sentry towers just in case I don't notice my drones going after a tower and aggroing the whole section.

Hehe, don't hold your breath for a dev response on this. If I were one, I would be too embarassed to post You know.... damn buggers haven't been working properly since like.... release?
Anyway it's not a big issue I guess... it's not like everyone uses them that is... err no wait

Originally by: Xs 142 Atleast a "We're looking into it" would be nice.
Concidering CCP announced during yesterday's drone whining thread that they are hiring a devleoper who's SOLE job it would be to deal with drones and drone mechanics, I think you have your answer.
I have a 100% Gal char, and tbh, never really had a problem with the buggers, though using them does require more thought than f1-f8.

Originally by: Sanzorz Another great change to drones would be to attack in a pack at all times instead of spreading out every time. It's kinda annoying to click every little bugger and then the engage button, as having them all selected while pressing engage dosen't work :-/
Sort them into groups, then rightclick the group header - engage :) ----------

Or just the 'drones in local space' bar.
But the point of this thread is that the commands don't work.

Fix drones, or remove them entirely.
At this pace, its a huge detriment to people wanting to come into EVE as "pet" users. -

Originally by: Marquis Dean 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.
LOL, I think thats one of the developing GM's screwing with you.

Oh and if you crash to desktop, allow a 5 minute cooldown on your drones where if you warp back in they are drones in distant space and you can recall them. -------- Kill em all and let god sort em out
