Well its clear CCP has given up the ghost on the HTFU core that made EvE great, as well as documented in detail here they are now doubling-down on Disneyland with the next patch that has a little more nerfing for the little carebears of hisec buried in the patch notes...

Evidently shooting at mobile tractor units owned by a bear with drones out in aggressive mode will *no longer* cause his drones to attack the agressor.

" Drones that are set to aggressive will no longer perform automatic actions against a target if those actions would trigger a new Limited Engagement, unless explicitly instructed to engage that target."

Why?

Because gosh no you cant expect the little bears to use their brains and the right drone setting, they must be bubble wrapped to prevent an inventive pirate from getting a limited agression on them while they are farming mission sites.

I am really getting disgusted with this water-torture drip of hisec nerfs that keep coming and make it abundantly clear CCP has lost the plot. With each one of these it becomes clear they care more about aquiring WoW reject subs, than retaining mine.

If they didn't want drones to behave that way, they should of just removed the aggressive setting of drones.

waah waah, so much whine, Droens are a weapon system, when under green-flag in Crimewatch, it is SUPPOSED to not be possible to start limited engagements, drones circumvented that mechanic.

sorry that your easy-kill button is now working under game mechanics as they were implied to work.

(and no, i dont use drones, hate them for everything, but the people whining about why drones should circumvent crimewatch safety settings need to learn to find real kills instead of sitting aroudn waiting for stupid noobs with loot pinatas)

Look i don't do much in high sec and while i like reading about the MTU stuff i really don't care. It is not true however that drones violated the green safety setting. Any weapon system fired at a suspect or criminal is allowed under green safety setting. aggressive drones under green will shoot criminals and suspects if they fire on stuff owned by you personally. It isn't hard and it isn't complex.
If missioners can't either use passive drones or switch to passive when people invade their site then they are idiots who deserve to lose their ships. there is no reason to change this.
again......i don't hunt mission runners and i don't use MTU. i have no horse in this race.

You don't need to switch off the safety to engage a suspect, as such drones engaging suspects didn't bypass the safety.

The word "Aggressive" in the drone settings is there for a reason.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

So...

CCP adds a new toy. Toy is shiny and popular, and lots of people play with it. CCP doesn't like how some people are playing with the toy, and change is a little bit. The crying begins...

Dude. The toy is still there. It's just not as enticing as it was before - To you.
Big Buff, followed by small nerf. Big flippin' deal - But you make it sound like the apocalypse. What's your issue? CCP isn't allowed to nerf anything unless you say so? Next, I supopse you'll want them to run Buffs past your for approval.

Yay paranoia.

It was completely predictable that they'll fix it ... one way or the other.


It's too late to make a fuzz about it. Should have done that earlier.
