What i would like to see incorporated is a warning to allow drone aggression vs. players or not to. this would be in a attempt to prevent high sec grief artists from seeing your ship in a mission and looting one can or wreck and getting auto aggro and having the right to blow you up because of your drones auto aggression.

This is a flawed game mechanic in that it allows the ability to engage in often one sided PvP in high sec without any repercussions due to a loophole in game mechanics.

You do know you can turn the drone aggression off but also if you turn auto lock off. Your drones wont agress targets unless you lock them and ive never had that problem. Take your drones off aggressive if ya have to or stop going afk or running a bot.

didn't have auto lock on. been playing too long to use that. will admit that i wasn't paying full attention but in high sec with no valid wars within 3 regions of you who necessarily does? not the same risk as bouncing from drag bubble to drag bubble in a pod in null with a hostile fleet breathing down your neck.
