The eject re-enter bit is interesting, I guess I missed that one.

Usually when I'm having this issue is means my primary ship isn't drawing their attention enough. You can use EWAR (which you'd need with a VNI) but it's generally why I choose ships that can fight for themselves. I use an ENI and take down the first flight myself before popping the drones out. They never target the drones after that, always me... unless I'm fighting exceptional foes, then I need to watch the drones closely.

Unwirtten rule #1075a of EVE, when it comes to killing inanimate objects (NPCs) always listen to Jenn.

1075b,When it comes to killing Animate Objects (people), never ever listen to Jenn.

you are describing an old bug


The real "bug" is probably how sites can be chained without getting your drones attacked a single time. I clearly remember clearing 10+ hubs without ever having to do anything about my drones beside launching them after getting out fo warp and that was without even using any E-WAR.

Yeah...
for some reason when i was ratting (last time it was like 3-4 weeks ago) in a Ishtar my drones were almost never attacked.
When i do DED sites my are wasps never attacked so i do it mostly orbiting something and waiting until no rats around.
The same thing with new 'serpentis blah-blah' sites. Launch wasps, wait until they clear the area, warp to next one. Even if they get attacked (seen it once) they might lose like 1/4 of shield before cleaning all the attackers.

Looks more like a bug

Well, I ran 6 Heavens and a Forsaken Hub yesterday evening, in my VNI, after the patch, and didn't have any problem with drones getting attacked by rats.....

Shocked

( I also did not get any escalation,..... Roll .. bad luck, i guess)

Am I the only one who uses sentry drones and kills them from 140km away?

Since update, my drones are ALWAYS getting targeted and fastly killed if i dont ask them to return to drone bay.
It never happend before.

WTF.

I was always like that??? I stopped using T2 drones for PvE because rats always destroy them in no time.

The bug have been identified, and reported. A quick fix provided.

Thanks.

Are you always managing your drone to get back to drone bay as soon as they get short on shield ?
Well, looks like you're back to having drones that don't get shot, which I find odd since my drones often get shot, but oh well. :) Anyway, yeah, I recall my drones when they get low on shield. That's usually plenty of time since Gila drones have decent tank, but sometimes they pop anyway which doesn't really bother me since they're cheap and I carry spares.

How much is your tick ?
I either run DED sites in search of faction loot of L4 missions in search of LP, so I really don't pay attention to ticks, sorry.
