I can’t play today (agin) because new bug with drones.
I play only drone. 10 years skilling for drones, shield, prod, no other killed weapons.
And today i can’t play. Each time il lunch drones npc instant target my drone and one kill it so fast.
When i call back drones they only turn in space and do nothing.
I use same fit since 1 week, i play same way, same drone…
DDos, bugs, lags, channel don’t work, always disconnect…
CCP when can i finally play decently ?§
This is not a bug. NPC AI will sometimes prioritize your drones, with higher end AI more likely to prioritize your drones, but even the lower end “dumb” AI prioritizing them sometimes.
This is a self-imposed limitation that is honestly shooting yourself in the foot. If you insist on only doing this, by all means continue to do so, but you will suffer its weaknesses and limitations. In particular, droneboats are generally worse than both turrets and missiles for solo PVE, especially higher end PVE.
Choice = Consequence
I’ve been playing intensively every day for 10 years. why is that doing today and not before?
and? this answer is useless
It be like dat sometimes… You have to feed the NPC’s drones sometimes, they get hungry.
Do Relog. Make sure you’re in the range of NPCs. Retreat the drones and don’t let them out until you’re targeted. Have you been using any other drone types recently?
is autotargeter on?
Already relog, change nothing.
Range is ok is on event site. Npc are 3 to 11km.
my drone stuck at 2km around me.
Maybe you’re in the pod and the drones are abadoned in space? 
Try to swap the ship and the drones, there must be something wrong with it. Are you on normal sites or abyssal?
This happens, I have witnessed it personally and there have been several posts about it over the years.
One day for no good reason npc’s decide to kill every drone you launch. I have never seen a proven way of fixing it (some have said that repackaging your ship works). Personally I just went and did something else for a couple of days. 
Legacy code, it’s similar to the bug where POS’s would occasionally go all deathstar on their owners for no apparent reason.
thank you very much for the tip it seems to work. I can control my drones again and the npc do not destroy them as soon as I take them out.
Different rats agro differently. So, sometimes you have to play around with them to see what works based upon the content you’re running (this is also why you might get conflicted answers on what affects rat agro).
Anyway, things that allegedly affect rat agro include: (1) Distance to rat, (2) Distance from other players/the fleet, (3) Damage Dealt, (4) The use of Ewar, (5) The use of remote assistance modules, and (6) your speed/transversal.
Now, one thing a lot of people like to do is to fit and use an autotargeter to their drone boats. For some reason, this moves your ship up the agro table relative to your drones. Do realize, however, that this won’t be the end all be all to your drone problem. For example, if you are orbiting/sitting well outside of the rats range, they may still say screw you and go after your drones.
Can’t believe I’m giving you this advice after a decade, but you need to Aldapt.
NPC will prioritize your drones… it has always been like that… if your drones get alphaed… it’s not a bug… but a feature.
Here’s a trick… wait for it…
Use Range
Buid a sentry boat
when rats come to close, call back and micro jump or MWD to anoher point.
Rinse and repeat
Git Gud and Fly safe o7
“Range is ok is on event site. Npc are 3 to 11km.”
ooff… that is not range buddy
Eject from ship in space and board it after some time. 30 seconds or so.
