Drones with a mind of their own?

I haven't played EVE in a few years and I've been keeping up with all the new stuff about the Drifters, Seekers, and Jove observatories.

I was at a Jove observatory and when the Seekers warped in I began to engage them while using an E-Link on the observatory. I began to notice that my drones were changing targets without my orders. Is this a new thing with drones or only when engaging Seekers?

Hmm... might be a bug but on the other hand, your drones could switch targets if they are being jammed (ECM). So it's either a bug, or Seekers are now jamming drones Shocked

circadian seekers are not jamming drones. they using kind of burst module that eject drone from them causing to lose contact with target so they switch to another
