When warping to a player owned structure and tethering; drones STILL take more damage before starting to repair…
This has been an issue for years.
This has been brought up multiple times before.
This is apparently part of the pos code that ccp have no clue about…lol

Cool, then they already knew about it and you didn’t need to waste our time reminding them.
Maybe they should actually fix their bugs…lol

Hello again,
We understand that this has been an ongoing issue. The GM team can’t manipulate game mechanics or fix bugs directly. The best way to raise these issues is through bug reports, which you’ve already submitted, the EVE Online forums, or the CSM. At this point, we’ll need to wait for the Dev team to review your report.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns I can assist you with.
Best Regards,
GM MiRaj

And; so here I am. as this is apparently the only place to get this done…
And before y’all go off about “tos” and sharing ccp coms… go look at my last post here. k; thanks 
if there would only be a very simple solution to fix your problem ….
if you only could dock and repair to repair your drones ….
Yes; they added this years ago cause they couldn’t figure out how to fix the issue years ago…lol
And I will reference back to; “Maybe they should actually fix their bugs’
maybe you create your own game so you dont need to complain about a bug no one realy cares about.
until you have your own PERFECT game you dont have any rights to complain ! file a bug report and thats it ….
the first link you post, opines it’s just a visual bug. the other two are irrelevant. it’s never been shown the drones actually lose HP. find something else imaginary to cry about.. for years now..
No; its cause of the % increase on some ships. and how that interacts when tethering for repairs. It is not 100% visual and never has been.
And even if it is visual only still a bug to be fixed…lol
for years now 
but srsly.. what if it is a visual bug, taking place -before- you tether. visual drone damage can be delayed; sometimes it doesn’t show up until the drone is almost dead. this is known and well-documented. what if tether is actually showing the true drone damage, before starting repairs?
What if you made sense? lol And what if they fix a bug no matter what causes it?
k m8 if you get a reply perhaps you could also have them look into ships going to warp sideways, or spinning around aligning after gaiting. totally agree with you that ccp should assign dev time to fixing visual bugs that do nothing, hurt nothing, and bother only a tiny percent of the player base with nothing better to do.. gl
*this was posted as an example of visual bugs in eve online. not sure why “the community” wanted it flagged, so edited for clarity.
You are most likely talking about “visual” damage… as stated in your reply…lol
This is not the same as what I am talking about.
And it is not “well know” or “documented” … as searching google i find almost nothing. vs when I search for drones not repairing properly i easily found multiple sources backing my post… I picked 3 to add to it.
And; if you wanna make your own post for issues you seem to have; feel free to do so and don’t jack others. (warping sideways is easy. and not a “bug”)(and based on in game physics; neither is spinning from a stop)
you’ve added none; here’s the last line from the first (and only relevant) thread you linked:
“So, I think this is indicating that the bug is with the % displayed in the drone window rather than with actual damage taken by the drone?”
both of those i posted as examples of visual bugs, which you obviously aren’t aware of. this indicates a lack of experience and knowledge of many of the nuances of this game, and therefore, useless to discuss with you further. o7
I thought you had to have the drones out while tethered in order to have the repair? Am I tripping? I also am not used to repairing drones I just get more when I lose/forget them lol.
No they are in the drone bay when repaired via tether
I still have no idea what you are on about…lol If you read the message from Gm MiRaj; they clearly know what I am talking about…as it has been an issue for years…lol
”We understand that this has been an ongoing issue.”
You seem to be the only one confused.
same about you … why arent you just repair on station ? xD
but no… instead you play the game you write a thread and complain about CCP and how bad they are but you´re not even capable of just let it be …. so who is the “not so smar ass” in this story ? spoiler → not CCP !
so go on… stop complaining and start playing !
if they dont fix a bug then there is a good reason not to fix it ! maybe think about THIS before you post again
So; you are mad your post telling me to just go make my own game got flagged; and now its just stfu and don’t complain? lol
Squash the bugs! LOL
EDIT : its not worth to talk to someone who dont understand simple stuff and cant think aboout things and why they happen / or not happen ….
