Ok, so the three things I'm seeing repeatedly are:

* Drones picking their own targets/going idle (based on aggressive/passive setting I'm assuming) after a fairly consistent delay once you've issued a command
* Drones failing to focus fire
* Drones catching a fast target, dropping to normal speed and immediately getting left behind

Am I missing something or are those the major problems?



I mainly fly Amarr, we don't usually get a whole lot of drones

What sort of rats is this happening with? Drones shouldn't be selecting targets until you're actually fired upon (red box rather than yellow box).

Just spent an hour poking at this and totally failing to get a reproduction for drones switching targets. Tried with Hammerheads, Gardes and Ogres, tried issuing target orders just before, just after, and a second after the target died, and even tried hacking the Ogres to have a10s RoF to see if that'd help. In all cases they're working as advertised (focus fire and aggressive).

Obviously this problem is still happening in the wild, but it doesn't seem to be reproducing on our internal test servers which makes it somewhat difficult to track down. I'll try and give it another poke later in the week and see if I can find anything more, but right now I don't have a whole lot to go on :(

Come on guys, be nice to Affinity. You're making her bitter and angry! She's just trying to help

*hugs CCP Affinity and applies some duct tape around her ears and eyes to prevent further brain damage this thread would cause*
It is better this way... You may look bit funny but you thank me later. Try not to take those off before Xmas. Everything will be all right .)
