So since their introduction my mutated heavy drones keep their MWD’s on after launching, and never drop down to their Orbit velocity of 300ms, they cant hit anything due to their tracking when they are burning around at 1500ms. Cant find any forum posts on this so here we go! Any clue as to whether…

It affects light drones too. They miss a lot of shots. Because of this I think its currently not possible for a mutated drone to outperform the original, they just miss way too much.

It’s absolutely stuck on. they’re totally worthless right now, cant hit a damn thing, they go so fast that they cant even hit battleships. Using mutated wasps, and it’s bad, one’s stuck at 1300ms, and one’s stuck at 1k. They should drop down to 330 or so but never do. Bug reported this WEEKS ago. …

I have tested, confirmed, and reported this bug. What we are seeing is the drone AI not switching from maximum velocity to orbit velocity; this behavior is controlled by range-based attributes which appear to be missing from the in-game instances of mutated drone types. This image shows a mutated H…

Update: I further tested this the same day by having drones orbit myself, and received the same results. After discussing this with a few contacts internally within CCP after my testing, I believe that the appropriate people are aware of the issue as well as the fix, but I cannot determine how long…

Hopefully they fix the drone AI too, they stop shooting when switching targets. Affects sentries too.

Hey Fonz, any news on this yet?

We have identified an issue causing some mutated drones (of all sizes, barring Sentry drones) to never enter orbit speed. We hope to have the fix out in early January allowing the mutated drones to behave properly.

Does this include a fix for mutated drone targeting bugs? (stops firing when switching targets, which also affects sentries too) If only the mwd issue is fixed they will still be absolutely useless.
