Why do I say this is because ccp kills the script very slowly ---

if you can’t understand why it buff RMT and botter. Maybe you need to improoved you’re skill in “game mechanics”. And you don’t get the point : old player are richn bew player will. Go to school learn science , learn to make model and come back to write after. Actually you juste hope by see only a part of the problem (like CCP) , don’t be as bad as they. ---

The irony is insane xD Also that would not be game mechanics that would be psychology. ---

Now When I ratting, I use drone boats at separate sites. After this update, I use drone boats with drone assist at same site. Not much different. ---

since a single player can no longer do 10 sites at once this change actually allowes a income buff for nullsec sites in the future without creating insane isk-printing machines ---

Hopefully they make sites dynamic so that they can’t be botted either to an extent. ---

> [@CCP\_Paradox](#): > > In December, we will be modifying the ‘Aggressive’ behavior setting of drones, making them respond only to direct offensive actions taken by another Capsuleer (player) or their controlled drones. > > Drones will therefore **no longer automatically attack NPCs** **when their behavior is set to aggressive** and instead will rely on player-issued commands to initiate action against a designated target. We are making this change to ensure that NPC killing activities move closer towards attentive player interactions and rely much less on low or no attention gameplay. > > We also wish to maintain the criticality of Player versus Player engagements, and recognize those situations which is why drones will continue to attack your attackers when set to aggressive. Can you remove or nerf the blidning leshaks from the T5 bonus rooms? Itll be almost impossible to kite them now ☹ ---

i think so, they have been developing the new NPC AI with diamond rats for a long time now, in Trig space the AI was also implemented on a larger scale for the first time ---

Also reduce drones to 2 per ship (increased damage and health) so they are more balanced against web’s and e-war for pvp 😃 ---

Why is CCP constantly trying to drive players away from the game? First: Split plex to screw up the plex market and plexing your account Second: Screw up mining so it makes it harder to build ships, etc… which increases isk cost to players Third: Ship modifications to increase loss of ships Fourth: Then the ESS changes and bounty modifiers to reduce the capture of isk by players Fifth: NOW this drone change which will not affect bots since the scripts auto press the F key and R key this will adversely affect actual players ALL of these changes indicate what CCP worships…your credit card. not good CCP not good. ---

Doing all mentioned already. 🙂 Having different ships and different fits depending on mission/site. But I have a lot of SP. New players does not. And CCP did not think about how this change affect others then AFK players they target it on. ---

New players will now skill into a decend fit for the region they want to move into, with the help of their alliance friends - if they move somewhere else it shouldn’t take too long to specialize in something else. The new AI might also mean that group PvE becomes more viable (they already adapt to the amount of players on grid) so new players can join their friends and play together with others in this MMO instead of having to do the very same site alone all the time. ---

Or they will stay in HS and make more ISK than actual 0.0. Less content for everyonne good move. ---

> [@Soldier\_Forrester](#): > > (they already adapt to the amount of players on grid) O damn no wonder! We had like 21 drifters spawn on us in trig space and ton’s of sleepers and had no idea why but it makes sense since we where 100 players farming standings at the time.
