I was wondering what happens when you assist drones to a player in a limited engagement in hisec. As I understand it, you inherit the crimewatch flags from that player. I'm curious about the LE timer though; I read somewhere that this isn't inherited. Will your drones still follow your safety settings to prevent you from getting concorded or does that timer pass along to you when the drones attack the other player?

From what I remember, they fixed the system so drones cannot by themselves or via assist perform an action that would give you a flag which should be prevented by your safety settings. I'm not sure about safety red but I would assume they just went the "easy" way and made the drones never perform any action that can flag you no matter what unless you direct them to do so.

It's dated, but still applies...

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose. Unless you podded them...and collected their corpse.

Rubicon 1.1 Patch notes:

Drones that are set to aggressive will no longer perform automatic actions against a target if those actions would trigger a new Limited Engagement, unless explicitly instructed to engage that target.
