My corp mate sal left his drones at a gate after a fight, warped from savespot to savespot for the last hour and then logged out, only to find his ship missing the next morning.
response from the GM indicate that this might have happened because his drones that where left in space after having to bail from a fight will reset your aggro timer when shot upon.
If this is an intended game mechanic then it basically possible to keep someone aggressed from downtime till downtime.
Don't log in space?

do you realize the stupidity of your comment?
a) there are ships which can not dock
b) imagine this situation: 0.0 system, gates are camped, your fleet has been crushed by the oponent, fc made the call to bail out and you wanted to call it a night anyway... now you cant log, because of the oponent shooting your drones... ffs... people have biological needs, like sleeping, eating, using the toilet and stuff... so not leting them log out after their 15 min timer is up is harrassment imo.
you have brain cells... how about using them from time to time?

There's a really cool bug that goes hand in hand with this aggro effect.
If you dock up, and the ebil swine keeps you aggro'd by scramming your wreck / drone / Jetcan every few minutes, the timer on YOUR screen while in dock, depletes and vanishes, while the nasty man has a new refreshed timer.
When the timer vanishes from your screen, you undock. The timer magically reappears in the top left at the correct time.
If you didn't spot that, you're about to lose what you just undocked in.
It is a stupid mechanic, and I am loving it until they rightfully get rid of it.

don't get me wrong, i never had this problem, i'am just amazed about all the ppl who say "don't log". this advice is as useful, as if you would tell someone who is afraid of being robbed, to never leave his house.
i dont know if abondon drones would work.

Sorry to pollute all this smacktalk with facts, but Imma do it anyway just because I'm like that.
You cannot abandon a drone located on a different grid. Those drones are not on the drone control UI.
You don't always have the option to jump or dock, either because there is no station or because the gates are bubbled and/or camped. Some ships can't dock anyway.
You can't always sit around waiting for a drone to come back when you need to warp out. For example, when your jammer drones disable whoever has you scrammed, do you really want to call them back and let that ship get another scram?
Sorry for the interruption. By all means, continue smacktalking and derailing the thread with the completely off-topic jetcan discussion.

Wow BAD!
That realy makes pvp with drones a risky thing
Any fix in sight? maybe a dev statement?

[sarcasm] Balance?
You know the old idea that drone are overpowered. And they cause lag too.
So right, relegate them only in the PvE high sec ghetto. [/sarcasm]

first of all theres no such thing as a exploit. only undocumented game features
i can tell ya of 1 game. think it was called pacman online. friend wrote it. sorry i lost his number and changed mine. my cat ate my cellphone and i moved
anyways i found doing levels in pacman when fighting rats if you used a engine booster and ran in.out 2-3 times back and forth and came back in they never aggroed ya. got it to work bout 70 percent of the time. did this for like 14 months before i couldnt use my mwe (miniature warp engines) ;)
racked up lots of points. i got to fly my ship with near no defensive stuff at all . all offensive. pac-missions ran fast
used to have a pic of some pac-minixes and a pac-a-thron at 14k just sitting there while i shot them all to hell and beyond
ahh i soo much miss playing pacman in space ;)
