Using Target Painters to Engage Drones

Here's a tip for anyone who uses target painters. In addition to creating aggro with NPC ships, when you activate a target painter on a target any idle drones that have been deployed will automatically engage without having to issue a command. Further, if you assign your drones to another target, after it has been destroyed they will return to engaging the last target you painted. The other benefits of enlarging the target's signature radius go without saying, but they also make it a lot easier for drones to hit and apply damage as well.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Not only that. Drone will engage targets who was aggro even with passive mode is on. Its known issue
Thats why i'm using gatling weapon which has low RoF to prevent any mess with triggers
Omni is better for "hit"
