Hello dear capsulers,

i wonder why i can set my drone fighters to agressive and they wont agress anything. Is this intended? When yes why ?

Can i do something about that ?

I'm thinking more information is required but you could try firing something at the target you want the drones to attack. The targets might be out of range, etc., but firing at the target usually gets the drones fighting.

The drones have to 'witness' the aggression initiation, either yours or theirs. If you launch them after the fight started, they will ignore it until new aggression is initialized.

Fighters do no respond against rats the same as normal drones. My experience with fighters is you need to tell them to engage the target, unless the fighters draw aggro from rats first, they will engage automatically. However if you ship draws first aggro, fighters will not respond on their own. It is possible fighters will lose aggro from spawn to spawn and just sit idle, needing to be re-directed manually, so no AFK ratting for you! Lol

Hi,

okay i want to clear things up maybe. I warp into an anomaly and drop my fighters... they attack one ship in agressivemode and then stop agressing. Normal drones i can drop in the anomaly they attack and attack and attack even i dont log a target ...

I don't get why there should be an difference...
