I'm having issues reconnecting to lost drones. Maybe someone could give me some info.

When I warp out of a NPC site (i.e. combat site) and leave my drones behind (by accident) to later warp back to the location and "reconnect to lost drones" I always get 4 drones. 1 drone every time randomly disappears (salvage drones, combat drones, etc).

Report as bug?

Were there any npc's left until pocket when you warped out? How long were you out of the pocket for?

1/3 times that I left my drones there were NPC's in the site still. The other times were salvage drones after the site was complete. I'll double check on this a few more times when I get back in town because I asked in mumble and it doesn't seem anyone else has had this issue.

Just wanted to follow up on this issue I had last week.

It looks like everything is fine recovering lost drones, I'm not sure what the deal was last week.

NPC's likely ate one of your drones. The moment you leave grid, drones cease to act or move and no longer have you around to draw fire, thus making them juicy target practice for hostile NPC's. The already hate drones to begin with, they are not gonna let them sit idly around just 'cause you left so soon. It happens, no bug, just ***-hole NPC's being ***-hole NPC's as usual.
