Its apperently a new feature that when in fleet, my drones apperence in the overview is the same as the other guys in fleet. I want to see where the heck my drones are, my own drones should differ from the drones in fleet!

Please fix it!

Let me give you an example on where this feature makes any pilot look like a noob. In fleets where you have a drone bunny people sometimes forget to assign their drones, they look at the screen, seeing drones with similar color as the fleet drones, and tell them selves:"hey i've assigned my drones, who is that stupid **** who didnt do it".

I want to see what the hell my stupid drones are doing!

What's really odd, I had my drones in purple and my fleet coprie's in green, then later they were all purple (although my corpie has been in the fleet all the time). Not sure how I got it that way, or why it changed.

Its the new feature in the patch. Seriosly, why you shouldnt be able to see where youre drones are is beyond me, its a il adviced (stupid really) feature, and noone benefits from it!

I don't mind seeing fleet members drones as purple, but I agree with the OP about wanting to see mine clearly.

Grab your pitchkforks and torches kids, its time.

I used to have a clever sig but I lost it.

I want to see which are my drones as well. What I want more is for my drones to actually do what I tell them to do. If I tell then to defend someone and that someone is being shot at, my drones should not be idle orbiting. they should be defending. If I tell them to assist, they should go attack targets not sit still. AI really needs to upgraded along with more command options for my drones.

Sounds like an accident to me since there is no reasoning for not being able to see which are yours.

Me neither, here are the patch notes concerning the fail-feature:

User Interface
Drones belonging to Militia members will now have the correct symbol applied on the overview and brackets.
