There's got to be a way to better clean up drone polution on PVH and 6Z. All the Combat Areas look like a drone junkyard al the time. How about a timer that automatically cleans dead drones every downtime?

Often ISDs, BHs, or even CCP/GMs will clear the drones from the CAs. If it bothers you, grab a group of friends and use bombers to clear them. CCP has more important things to devote their resources to than this

That's the problem, the devs are having to do this intermittently. Should be a way to make it automatic every downtime without human input, one would think.

Last time I checked, it is automatic every DT. Haven't been in the FFAs recently. So perhaps that was been changed.

And yeah, smartbombs. Large ones. 8 of them.

Or Everyone could do their part and shoot at drones and wrecks when no targets are around

We could make it a Sisi policy

I salvage the super/cap wrecks on the undock with my Noctis.

If you want to get rid of the drones, Disco Battleships. Thousands of them.

maybe drones should just kill themselfs after a while.... or become rouge drones and then you have to fight them!

This timer exists. Drones are automatically cleaned every daily downtime, though possibly not during unexpected downtimes. Just ask an ISD or developer to clear them for you if they are generating lag. Bear in mind that turning off brackets will improve your performance a lot here.
