Someone atleast needs a lock to do that. Making it worse with this won't really help that.


Goatman NotMyFault Lubrication Industries Likes received: 276	#9 - 2013-10-06 20:29:52 UTC for my part, a defend fleet option would do good for me when im out with my miningfleet in belts where ganker often roam. If they attack, all drones engage instead of going thru every 6 acc to target and attack. May be lazyness, but it will save much time and possible ships. 30 drones do more damage than 5 in the first 10 sec.

Drone assist mechanic works fine for you however. Assist all drones to one barge. Then just use that barge any time gankers come on grid to target all drones

Thats true, but when ure running 6 accounts on one puter, these accounts tend to freeze up when too many is in the same location :D

So buy a new puter or ask for a little change in the game mechanics??? :D
