Noticed what appears to be changes in a couple L4 missions.

Assault (Serpentis): Used to be able to gate all the way into third pocket with no aggro. Now in pocket two, 4 frigs will scramble/web as you head to gate.

Pirate Invasion (Angels): BS group you need to kill has not auto-aggroed me in three trips. Had to close to 60km or so.

YMMV

Yeah, I noticed the gurista side of World's Collide with Serp/Gurista had a lot fewer cruisers and battleships yesterday. I assumed it was a fluke though. I'll need to pay closer attention the next time I go through.

The bounties are higher than other NPCs, but yeah they paid well in loot before the change.

It's pretty simple. Drones don't drop loot but you get a bounty instead. Some players might find that convenient. Especially players that blitz and don't bother with loot anyway.

Comparison of two actual missions run by me, a day either side of the update:

Pre-Inferno

ISK: 1,130,000
LP: 5349
BONUS ISK: 1,220,000
LOOT: 727.8m3
SALVAGE: 1m3
BOUNTY: 0


Post-Inferno

ISK: 1,350,0000
LP: 5328
BONUS ISK: 1,230,000
LOOT: 0m3
SALVAGE: 1m3
BOUNTY: 2,735,063

Wait wait wait wait wait....


What?

Did you mission exclusively against Mercs, because the new Drone bounties are terrible, they pay as much as bottom tier Battleship bounties.
