This is confirmed on several ocasions between 16. and 18th of april.

Character A is has sec status below -5. It has all of the flags imaginable. It happens in low sec.

Other characters assist drones to char A. Drones agress only:

1. corp members
2. other chars who have sec status below -5

All others are not agressed and this is serius issue.
Apparently there is an issue either with sec status or flags applied. AFAIK null sec dont have this problems since there is no suspect or criminal flags.

TAKE CARE OF THIS ; MAKE THINGS WORK; ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM

It shouldn't be too much trouble recreating this.

P.S.
also wing commander still does not have fleet comannder bonuses.. but i'm tired of pointing to that, i'm doing it for 2 years and not a single word back...

agreed, the bug are stockpiling and CCP doesn't seems to give a s*** about them, i canceled 2 roams this weekend because of the bugs, having half my fleet stuck on a gate "jumping", having half the fleet (whole fleet was fully aligned) stuck in "warping" for at least 5 sec (some even missed it!!!!), having a mastodon warp out while it was pointed by a phobos while the distance was 5 km, having modules that need to be activated twice to work, having the first rep cycle never working (!!!!!!), having my fleet unable to lock ANYTHING for 5 full seconds upon landing....and the list goes on...(yes, we encountered ALL THOSE in 2*5 min roams with a 10 then 15 man fleet, pilots being all over the world, EU / US / Canada / Asia).

to reproduce, just go on a roam at pic hours, any competent pvp player will notice those bugs (on TQ, not happening on SISI, on happen almost only during pic hours, server load anyone?)

this is sick, this game is broken badly, and this needs to be addressed ASAP, because as it stands, pvp is more about luck than skill / organization etc....

about the missing warp squad, we did a little test:

1 FC (squad commander) + 10 squad members (all in same squad)

all aligned on grid to the same destination
everyone at full speed no prop.
FC (me) warp the squad
4ppl + me enter warp instantly / 5 enter warp but +-5 sec later (received the "warp drive active" with everyone tho)
1 didn't received anything


repeated several times, 30% issues happen, but never the FC, never the same ppl (and the nb changes too, sometime 1 misses, sometime half or none, etc...).

indeed happen whatever the fleet comp is, whatever it's a squad co. or wing co. or fleet co. initiating the warp etc....

Did those pilots that assigned drones have their safety set to partial? If they did, I agree that it's something that should be looked at. If they didn't, it's working as intented.

I bug reported the wing commander bug yesterday, they've attached it to an existing defect.

But I wholehardtly agree that CCP needs to direct for manpower to kill the bug backlog. There's no reason that bugs aren't fixed after 2 years, (took them 3 years to fix another bug).

Also the bug filtering can take months, even after it was originally filtered that it was broken on tranq but not on the dev server and should be fixed with the next big retribution update. Reopened after retribution after 1.1 and still not processed....

Yes, all safetys off.
Also the bonus is also still messed up. Sometimes we can't even swap the char that is giving bonuses coz it keep stuck at an infinite wait loop.
