Did something change with NPC target switching in the last few days?

I was doing a Sansha Vigil, everything the same, same ship, same fit, same strategy. But now the elite cruisers (Centum Loyal) are targeting my light drones. And unlike the crappy regular cruisers, the elites can actually hit orbiting lights. I understand as a player who favours drones for weapons I am already at a severe disadvantage. I understand elite frigates are already basically a big FU to anyone flying drones. Why add insult to injury?

Bah it was late.

Cruisers will only target light drones if you have drones out before you have agro on the cruisers.

Elite frigs have gone after drones for a few months now.

I, too, like to post replies to posts I haven't read.

Its not that bad as just after winters expansion launch :) but still.... Gallentes are not loved.

Frigs are after light drones
Frigs, cruisers are after medium drones
Battleships, cruisers and frigs are all after heavy drones

thats from my knowledge. I dont use drones at all, everything dies from AC fire. But can imagine its unpleasant situation for someone whos main dps source are drones.
