I give up.
There is no way I can compete with an entire team of null sec zealot propagandists, and their cadre of CCP sympathizers.

For drone-boats, I think it'll be alright as long as you put forth a little more micromanagement.

For bringing in low-SP newbie friends in bad ship fits just because they want to tag along however... it's a trip to Jita/Amarr in my Orca to go buy them a replacement. Ugh.

Sure you can.

I guarantee you if you just take the prescribed medication they will all go away.

If you had read the threads in F&I about up coming FW changes you would have seen a nice preview of some of the up coming NPC AI changes (before the Dev Blog Shocked), in particular this little gem from CCP Fonzie.

How apt are they to kill drones?


With the sleeper AI we basically have a slider to adjust their hatred of drones, we can take them all the way from "Member of NPCs for the ethical treatment of drones" to "Drones killed my parents and forced me into life as a sociopathic superhero" and anywhere in between.

So we'll tweak based on test server feedback.

Or maybe your ASSumptions are just plain wrong.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

Dude, you outright LIED about what a developer said and you've been called out on it, own up to your mistake and let it go. Smile

Nah ain't nobody crying except this OP who gives carebears a bad name, if anything I for one think this improvement to the standard npc AI is a good thing and I look forward to it making the pve grind a bit more entertaining.

I don't even ... wait what ?

Use any other weapons, you can be neuted, disrupted, scrambled, ecm'd etc out and have to deal with it.

Now your drones can be countered too?

Seems pretty damned fair to me.

I always have rats attacking my drones, always have, and looks like they always will. Dunno what the problem is.

OK, last response to another null sec zealot, because you called me a liar.

LIed????

Are you deranged?

Let's see...did the mission rats switch aggro to drones before? No.
Will they get aggroed now? Yes.
Do drones get killed in mission now? Yes.

Sorry, no lie there.

I hope the AI changes will be followed by a better drone control UI.

Dealing with drones more dynamically would be easier if I can point and click like I do with other weapon systems.

The problem is OP will no longer be able to park his Dominix in a level 4 and wander off to cook his dinner.

Sorry chaps,

I think everyone has made their points quite clearly, but we ask that any "feedback" regarding a dev-blog is placed in the post specifically made made for that dev-blog.

However, as this thread started as a rant and has gathered the typical responses such rants get, I am forced to apply the lock.

Please consider making a constructive comment in the official dev-blog thread though, we appreciate all useful feedback.

Thanks and fly safe! (even your drones)

Edit: I appear to have not provided the link to said thread - apologies!
