yeah some behave just fine, others.... no so much.

It has taken me a little bit of time, but I'm adjusting. Stomped WC angel/sansha just a bit ago with some ship tweaks

Don't worry guys, CCP will find a fix for this in 6 months. Remember they're too busy at the moment pushing more broken codes into the game. Deadlines first guys!

Also a side note ran some missions with a friend and the whole target switching to greater threat works and will catch you off guard if you're not careful lol.

Just replying to the "greater threat" part with an observation I made earlier:
Fleet of battleships, ewars active, light drones (small sig), sentry drones (cruiser sig).

A frigate warps in.
Immediately gets agro.
Funny thing, there were no more rat frigs left on field.

And no, the ship did not point, shoot, or do anything (yet) but start moving.

Stealth Bombers are a joke at the moment.

"We want PvE activities to require active participation and mirror PvP more closely." Stacking penalty for NPC EWAR then? Lock range under 9km from over 100 in a BS is not fun. Nor is two NPC web drones making me crawl 10m/s. PvP SW-900 x5: 75m/s.

In my experience it seems to be sporadic on the drone agro. First mission I did after the expansion was Dread Pirate Scarlet. Only twice did my drones get agro from any ships and it wasn't all of them either. I simply pulled back any that showed hits on the shield and left the rest out there. As long as the drones take out the frigates pretty quick, most other ships won't do much damage to the smaller faster drones anyway unless they get lucky shots.

you just got to watch your drones more closely. It hasn't been bad.

I also use a maelstrom as my Level 4 missioner.
