If I enable the “disable emergency warp” feature in settings, will this stop my drones from being recalled if I have a disconnect? Lost a couple of ships now due to disconnects that would have been avoided if drones kept attacking and I just noticed this option in settings
I don’t know if that option stops automatic recalling of drones when you disconnect.
That setting is mostly used to ensure that your capital ship doesn’t suddenly warp out of the safety of a fleet during a fight upon disconnect.
I would not be surprised if your drones are recalled regardless of this setting, but it might be that they aren’t recalled when emergency warp is disabled.
Maybe give it a try and see for yourself if it does so!

You are correct the drones are recalled upon disconnect even with disable emergency warp enabled. Would seem like a sensible thing that if emergency warp is disabled that drones and modules would remain active

Good to know, nice to hear you tested it!
While I do see how it would be nice for your usecase if drones didn’t get recalled upon disconnect, I also think it’s nice that ships automatically save their drones when they’re about to log out.
You don’t want your ship to disappear from space leaving a couple of Geckos in space upon disconnect.
If emergency warp is disabled the ship will not warp that’s the point
You are saying the emergency warp setting prevents you from jumping with Drones out?
So you need to enable it to have this feature???
I was looking into this and I couldn’t find the relevant setting. I stumbled upon the emergency Warp
but couldn’t tell what was it for. I lost drone in the Abyss bc I thought it was still active by default at I think it has been at one point, and I must have missed the update “fix” where it was reverted…
Emergency warp is about warping.
Your problem with drones is if you take gates inside abyssals, which isn’t warping.
Emergency warp won’t fix your problem.
And what it’s meant for is to disable the default ‘emergency warp’ that ships do upon disconnect, so your capital ship doesn’t warp out of the fleet to a easily combat-probable spot 1 million KM away from the fight where it can get killed while you experience a disconnect.
It won’t stop your ship from dying in abyssals and it won’t stop you from taking gates in abyssals either.
Just pick up your drones before you take a gate.
