Drones are set to aggressive. How the !@%# did my drone supposedly aggro someone and shoot them when I'm not paying attention to the screen and how the hell do I stop it from happening? I've lost 2 ships to this idiotic mechanic

if they loot a wreak they turn red drones set attack targets on there own will atttack loot thief's. So afk mining with combat drones out bad idea you have to make sure you blue your wrecks or set drones to passive.

Btw not he best idea to post you afk mine. oh one last thing learn how argo works hahahha. this one is funny.

Problem 1: Paying attention to mining while you're missioning. wtf would you?
Problem 2: AFK while missioning.
Problem 3: Using drones AFK while missioning.
Problem 4: Using drones set to aggressive AFK while missioning.

Or where you AFK mining while missioning?

In that case. You're just greedy given that it's happened TWICE.

Oh wait. You already knew all the answers.

Why ask?

Not missioning AFK, mining AFK my mistake for making it unclear.

It's a simple solution to a simple problem, what's your point? I can manage to both mine and mission while paying attention to both clients why can't you?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Answer 1: You are at the keyboard?
Answer 2: You don't have kids to blame?

Drones shouldn't shoot people who loot your wrecks. Why do you think this is the case, did you see it happen?

More than likely you just got ganked. If you are sitting in an ice belt, it's not uncommon, especially if you are in an untanked Mack.

Last I checked they do. Looter goes flashy red - that's enough for me and my little helpers.

Ganking would have been accompanied by OTHER NPC arrivals.

Psst. His "I am mission" boat was asploded. Twice. (<< see what I did there I am mission - get it, get it??)
