Im general, it has come to my attention that many miners in nullsec, that mine With more than one account, seems to lack the ability to let their drones guard the fleet on grid. Often then Assist and guard a singel person, dont always Works. So manually target and Lock multipel targets when operation many accounts, often slow Things Down and valuable time is lost unless ure driving skiffs.

Whats wanted, is a "one for all, all for one" possibility, an option to set drones to guard all members of the fleet within range.

Say no to AFK game play.

This is among the last thing that Eve needs.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

I could actually see utility for this beyond AFK mining, but every other action a drone takes is in reference to one target, be it to guard, attack, repair, salvage, return to, etc. Being able to issue one type of command with a much larger scope than the others would be imbalanced.

Drones need to be repeatedly hit with the nerf bat (yes sentries, I'm talking about you).

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Nope sentry drones are not a problem - on battleships. They just should never be able to enter a cruiser dronebay.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!
