What precisely does this mean CCP?
Straight from the patch notes: "NPC AI has been enhanced to handle multiple targets in more robust way"

Is this yet another nerf to Incursions, and shared mission/plex running?

Highsec belt rats now bump into miners and place bounties on them. They also primary miners who do not respond in local. Ok, maybe they don't, but it would be funny!

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

why hasn't dinsdale been banned for starting rumours? isn't this the kind of garbage that rule was implemented to prevent? or does ccp find this as hilarious as everyone else?

Because that is a line straight out of the patch notes.
Someone has told me that it refers to making the programming more robust, and not change how a player reacts with NPC's. If so, it would be nice for CCP to confirm that.

AI has been enhanced to alpha logistics first and then eat through the vulnerable DPS instead of focussing on the DPS and ignore that they're not making a dent.

Or maybe it's a coded message for Goon sleeper cells to activate. I've heard they put ads in the major newspapers with secret codes embedded.

Previous: OK scrub! Hop in that Velator, warp to an asteroid belt and sit there until someone comes in, then yellow box them from beyond any normal capsuleers targeting range, slowboat to them, orbit them and peck at their shield with a civvy blaster until you die.

Now: OK scrub! Hop in that Velator, warp to an asteroid belt and sit there until someone comes in, then yellow box them from beyond any normal capsuleers targeting range, slowboat to them, orbit them slightly further away and peck at their shield with a civvy blaster until you die. It should take slightly longer than usual now. You now have permission to target more than 1 person...so have fun with it.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Maybe it means rats will shoot all your drones at once instead of just alpha-blapping them one by one?

And I agree with the above quote.

And there is nothing wrong with the Drone AI working as intended. LolP

Another thought to this one is that CCP wants all of us to buy plexes to convert that into isk so CCP makes more money and making it harder for us to blap the NPC's.

Just a thought LolP

To clarify: you think that the AI being intentionally lobotomized is a good thing?

Why would it be one? And how would it qualify as “another“?
