Situation:
Use fighters in 0.0 , with carrier on field.

Hostile enters system, carrier makes safe-warp to POS

( leaving fighters behind , they they will follow later )

Carrier is safe within Alliance tower , but fighters refuse to go trough pos-shield
( leaving them outside ) , unable to return to the carrier.

This is new since the last -big patch- , petition / bug report got no response

( tried it on several clients / systems / towers ) , same result.

It's my understanding that drones are supposed to disconnect when either they or their host ship enters a POS.

If you found a way to make drones function while your ship is in the POS shields... well... I'd class THAT as a bug/exploit and that this was simply a "fix."

How did you Veterans start?

Call fighters to bay and onced they scoop, then warp ? Shocked

I know, I know. Revolutionary thinking, probably get me burned at the stake for suggesting.

If you lack the need to keep your carrier alive... Indeed the best way ;p

Im talking about pulling in Fighters, not putting them on a target from inside of the POS

Working as usual, The POS shields will indeed stop fighters being pulled in. I once had to scan my fighters down in a WH I once lived in as the fighters were left behind they simply stopped where they were mid warp as I went through the shields.

warp to 10-15km off the pos tower (puts you just inside the shield) stick the nose of your carrier back out if the pos shield... recall fighters... problem solved
