Today between 2:30 am and 3:00 AM i was mining ice in a retriever. I had 3 warrior scout drones in my bay. Then 1 rat showed up. He was 10km away from me. So i undocked my drones, targeted the rat and told them to engage. Upon engagement all 3 drones fired once at the enemy and then... poof 1 of the drones was gone while the other 2 where still engaging. In the drone overview window it said that 2 drones where in local space and the missing one was in distant space. I could do nothing but abandon it. This is the second time this has happened today. Just wanted to report this in case it's something CCP doesn't already know about.

Don't worry, drones will be removed from EvE soon and this will be a moot issue.

And no, there won't be a SP refund.

This happens all the time. Where do you think all those rogue drones come from?

The grid is borked. Your missing drone has entered a different grid, and disappeared from the one you currently occupy. It is still there, just abandoned all alone in the night.

The best way to report a bug is to file a bugreport Smile
It's best to send it from the client right after this issue you are experiencing has happened (because then we can see if you've been getting errors as it happened). You can access the bugreport tool in game by pressing F12.
Please include screenshots (and if applicable, highlight the area in the screenshot that is not as expected).

If this is so, you can recover the drone by flying over to where it was when it disappeared. Fly into the other grid. Recall all your other drones first.

I wonder if that's why I found 5 abandoned drones in a belt the other day. I just took a frig out to scoop them up.

Pretty much this. Not exactly a bug and not exactly working as intended. Just bad luck and a crazy grid.

Laughing and crying at this. lol

Every time I come back from a break from this game, drones are more and more useless. The second I would launch them on a mission, they get shot to pieces. I don't even bother using them anymore.

Sad, but it does seem to be on the cards.
