All that's needed is a UI change to indicate when your drones are being targetted. If that was implemented (It's been a long running feature request) that would make things a whole lot easier (in regards to losing drones anyway - not necessarily being able to apply dps).

Hey Hazen,

Yep, agreed 100%. I would like an Option "Return upon targeted" or "Return upon Damaged" option even better. No UI change needed, but surely would prevent loosing them.


Hmm, not sure I agree with you exactly here. Making it an automatic option would enable botters to work more effectively. Just an indication that drones are being targetted would allow you to pull em in asap (manually controlled) rather than a check and forget option that imo would dumb the game down a bit.

Hehe, true.

lol listen to yourself "an indicator that you have drone aggro would dumb the game down." Having to guess at weather your drones are going to get vaporized is not compelling gameplay. Devs aren't so deluded to purpos fully make mechanics frustrating and seeming unfair just to give missions interactive gameplay and frustrate bots. This is just a balance issue gone wrong and a side effect of the long-complained-of hisec npc AI.
