You can switch to a different weapon system or you can fly closer to your target. EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?

Daichi Yamato Jabbersnarks and Wonderglass 3986	Posted - 2017.07.20 21:40:13 - [2] - Quote I'd love to remove drone auto engaging. CCP obviously want a mixed bag of seni afk Ded sites are not only in null sec and ded rat ai is not unique to ded sites. Like i said, get closer to your target or change weapon system.

Daichi Yamato Jabbersnarks and Wonderglass 3989	Posted - 2017.07.23 21:37:15 - [3] - Quote No it doesn't need 'reliable' tool. What you're asking for is a switch that when fit, says 'my drones are immune to npc's' Not going to happen. You already have ai that prioritises ewar and remote reps, so a simple target painter is likely to get them to switch target. You can already remote repair drones and only certain types of rats go for drones frequently. Using drones has huge advantages. The price of this power? They get shot at. If drone aggro was so bad why is everyone using them? Ishtars, VNI's, Rattlers, gilas, domi's and even the op with a drone proteus... OP just needs to learn how to use drones.

Daichi Yamato Jabbersnarks and Wonderglass 3989	Posted - 2017.07.23 22:31:22 - [4] - Quote Done 10/10's in a triple repped domi. If you're having that much trouble, switch the weapon system. And when no one does 10/10's with drones ccp may think 'hmmm something may be up here'. But honestly, its likely more ded sites are run with drones than any other weapon system because they are that good. EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?

Having a reliable tool does not mean it's a one shot solution that requires no further action or sacrifice. Reliable means it works all the time. Otherwise it is the definition of unreliable. So it's not going to happen. Your experience with drones isn't universal. When i pull drones in and redeploy them npc's don't automatically go for the same drone, or even go for any drones after being pulled in. EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?

Daichi Yamato Jabbersnarks and Wonderglass 3990	Posted - 2017.07.25 17:00:15 - [6] - Quote Have people forgotten that the op is using a proteus? He can get as close as he wants and tank just fine.

I'm using a Rattlesnake, passive shield regen fit. I always need to thin out the NPC's a lot before I can even attempt to let my drones loose, because if I don't I lose them within seconds, and when trying to prevent that the drones barely get one shot off, if any, on a target before I need to recall them with a 50/50 chance of losing drones on the way back. In a rattler you have sentries and super tanked heavies that needn't go further than 20km. What in the hell are you doing? Honestly, what do you mean by 'let my drones loose'?

Daichi Yamato Jabbersnarks and Wonderglass 3991	Posted - 2017.07.27 00:28:18 - [8] - Quote Blasters goto 20km? Nice hax... Drone control range goes to 60km. That doesn't mean you should be able to send combat drone that far without them getting shot at. Why would it? Doesn't matter what you like or don't like. Eve by its very nature does not give you everything you want. It gives you meaningful choices. Use the right tool for the job. I.e use sentries for targets beyond 20km, or fit for drone speed, or use some e-war, or use another weapon system all together. Op should do a video using blasters at 20km. I'm sure they'll out perform drones no problem. Lol. EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?

Daichi Yamato Jabbersnarks and Wonderglass 3992	Posted - 2017.07.27 10:08:57 - [9] - Quote Sentry drones are useful at 60km. Doesn't mean combat drones need to be for ratting. Battleship blasters are doing less than half damage at 20km with antimatter. Their fall off is at 16km ish. To put that into context, a vindicator's blasters do less damage than a domi with gardes/orgres at that range (and the domi has better tracking too) So when you say a drones operational range is worse than blasters you're pushing it. Now go back to how the op is using a proteus with a fall off at around 13km ish if he was using a blaster subsystem. Blasters just dont compare to drones in useful range, not even against combat drones getting shot a lot. Then add the other advantages of using drones... Where you say drones didn't get compensated, they did, they got a big speed buff. EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?
