We asked the same thing about miners fitting a tank.

So then I guess CCP would implement 'auto-pulling' drones in when they are attacked?

No? That is stupid. People who lose drones probably deserve to lose them. Learn from your mistakes or keep losing them.

I cannot stress enough how much of a noob I am. I once lost an Abaddon in some L4 thief mission because my drones couldn't kill the frigate scramming me. That Abaddon had a missile launcher on it...

If you're going to cry because you lost drone, please do it to a mirror so you can see how foolish you look.

Mostly tarded noob who hasn't lost any drones so far

I'm having 100% no issues running sanctums, havens, and high end serpentis plexes solo with an isthar. Drones getting agro has hardly been an issue at all.

Say it with me now, the new AI has a defect, it's not working as originally intended.

I'm gonna love ti when ccp puts it "right".

I fail to see the problem other than you are just bad. Here is a tip. Watch your drones and recal them before they die. Being a smartass is always better than being a dumbass!

I asked my sister if she had tried some missions after the patch. She had, with her Domi. I asked her how many drones she lost due to the new AI that switches aggro to the drones.

"There is a new AI that switches aggro to the drones?"

Apparently is such a small effect she did not notice.

Sister drunk whilst playing?

This is not a signature.

Yeah not all missions are like that. If your mission warps you under 10km of them and you have 7 frigs on you, sure i can kill everything else around you but the frigs INSTANTLY go for your drones. So quickly in fact they don't even switch over to being yellow boxed before 2 of your drones are dead. Not just frigs even NPC battleships too.

So i'm at a standoff with 7 web frigs within 1000m of myself and to use 10-15 volleys of T2 cruise missiles on frigs is just ridiculous.

Lastly unlike you in your Paladin which is a good ship, even if i had the new Micro Jump Drive and got distance on them they still chase the drones down and you can't really snipe with a cruise Golem.

Cheating way: launch, drone aggro, pull in, launch, no aggro.
I'm not a little ***** way: Snipe frigs from range and when they are in close then send out the drones, you can pull the lil bastards in and out almost instantly.

You're exploiting a bug that will be fixed sometime.

While we consider the fact that the AI will only shoot your first flight of drones (this is based on specific criteria such as sig radius) and not a second wave to be a defect, we are not publishing the fix with Retribution.

People have been using drones like this before the patch. Not an exploit. Just because they fubar'd the code doesn't make a previously valid tactic cheating or an exploit.

Typical Eve hack: mad at everyone, about everything.

You clearly don't understand the definition of an exploit. I recommend you learn how to use a dictionary before further commenting.

You're abusing a defect and when that defect is fixed you'll lose drones so quick you'll be wondering why you were ever this clueless.
