Drone Changes?

So I've been getting some level 4 drone missions recently, I'm partially in favor of them removing allows in exhange for bounties, and only a few drones actually have bounties on them. Mostly not the big juicy battleship sized ones, and this upsets me. They are consistant in a few missions, but I just go into a mission hoping to reel in 4-5mil in bounties, only to learn that I'm getting 1mil from thier cruisers.

Another thing that upsets me is that there is no security status from these kills. Which is a common complaint I've heard from everyone else. We are getting a concord bounty, but no security status. That doesn't make sense. I like to go out into lowsec and do some pvp from time to time, and walk into Jita to stock up without getting turned into swiss cheese, so I don't want to waste my time on these pointless kills. (Very Pointless, seeing as how they drop nothing now)

Anyone else in favor of fixing drone mission npcs and giving drones security status?

I wouldn't be lying if I said that drones should give (VERY) small improvements to all four primary Empire faction standings. Would be a reason to kill drones and would be slightly less monotonous than mission grinding.

imo drones should salvage to moon goo. not for any lore reason but just to screw with OTEC.

I should buy an Ishtar.

This is in my opinion typical sloppy work by CCP. They really are horrible about finishing anything before dropping it. Just look at this inventory debacle you know it is insane! Is pathetic to me really.
