Bottom line: Drone aggro...is just not fun

I think the main issue really is down to a couple of things.

If you are running around in high-sec doing lvl 1-4's the drone aggro mechanic isn't really going to affect you too much because all you really have to do is concentrate on aggro and their drones. So yes the drone aggro change from your respect is fine and dandy.

Now change that to either lvl 5 runners or null sec dwellers. Now these guys have other things to do as well as what as what the 1-4's chaps are doing.
They have to manage aggro,check drones,check local and then this is what takes most of my time check d-scan literally every 3-5 seconds. Now we all know that null-sec isn't that much more dangerous than high-sec (no matter what people say) but there is danger and you do have to use d-scan to counter this.

Now all that happens is that I have to micro manage and repeatedly click buttons every 3 seconds which isn't really "enhancing" my fun in fact I don't think I've done a lvl 5 or hub,haven whatever since. The fact is if you are using a drone boat it just isn't fun, its tedious which I think is quite the opposite of what CCP were trying to create.

I want to have fun not repetitive strain injury and bleeding eyes because I'm having to concentrate so hard I may aswell be at work instead of playing a "game"

Really CCP no matter how much you want your product to be more than a game it isn't it's no real different from Auf Weidershein Monty no matter how much you tart it up in knickers and a bra. You want to play and have fun usually at someones else's expense which unfortunately CCP seem to do with lots of people at any given time.

Shame I'm addicted to the bloody thing tbh!!! Smile
