Is this a joke? Why are you doing this? ESS can still be tolerated. But drones! Probably have to finish subscribing to this game. While other MMOs introduce automatic farming, CCP goes the other way=( Very sad=(
is there any way to influence this decision?

Hmmmm,
This is not a change for me I always have drones set on passive/focus fire, I dont like when my drones wander and try to kill targets that I dont want them to.
Fly safe
Serpentis rats are celebrating.LOL… It’s now more challenging to clear rats with ECM’s…
When you said it impact only AFK player you are totally wrong.
Inf act it has some side effect CCP haven’t see (beacause they don’t think to update).
-What about salvage drone ?
-What about the battleship nerf induce by this ? Yes it nerf a lot battleship ? Why ? Beacause when you are in PVM in a lot of site NPC suddently appear (like frigate), and you let you 're small drone engage they… beacause take to you a very long time to target frigate, so you’re drone will engage (and kill ) before you end to target…
-A lot of close range BS just don’t care of frigate and target only ennemy BS … letting drone clean little stuff . And it’s often newbro , beacause they can’t have a shitons of target. So maybe CCP need to revisit some site often doing by newbro in BS .
So you have here some evidence of nerf of ACTIVE player due to this change. Probleme is if CCP want to compensate by increasing power of drone (more dps for exemple) it will be bad for pvp. So they need to reveisit ALL combat site before … OR make something interesting : You’re drone continue to auto agro if you are actively fighting with guns for exemple.
The amount if people who clearly chose the easy path rather than the sensible one are staggering.
Lazyness and greed are not virtues.
CCP have stated this doesnt affect salvage drones.
And for the 2 other point ?
If you have difficulty ratting in a BS fit SEBOs.
Thats been like BS 101 for a decade.
All these people complaining that this won’t stop bots, it makes botting more appealing, it’s actually a nerf to hunting, it makes content more boring…
Apparently no one is willing to tell the truth.
Most people here are actually just mad that they can no longer generate an income while putting forth minimum effort and barely interacting with the client.
In spite of the complaints, I think this will actually be a blessing in disguise for some players. Some will switch to more active setups that make them more money, and others will switch to other isk generating activities that they find more fun.
CCP is not your friend. Eve will continue to evolve… We just need to deal with it by adapting…
So you haven’t understand the point 
It’s anerf of BS, and yes you could have sebo, when you’re light drone could ALPHA frigate who spanw on you after 2 sec lock time …
How many sebo to target in 2 sec on a BS ?
Ok so you see how stupid you’re reflexion is ?
It’s a nerf for active player to. I know it’s against you’re narrative and you do’nt want to admit you are wrong … but it’s a nerf for active player to.
Fact are fact, so CCP don’t thinkt o that beacause they have no clear vision of what they are doing.
You don’t get the point :
-Some are here beacause CCP don’t see side effect on active player.
-Some are here beacause yo many nerf in smae time result in a population loss at mid term (Hello blackout you remimber?)
-Some are here beacause CCP justify a lot of thing by 'it s to hunt bot … it become a meme.
-Some are here beacause it kill they 're multiboxing.
-Some are here beacause CCP totally forget to rework some NPC accordly with that … and it’s a huge nerf for mining fleet without combat ship in some part of space .
I could continue … but you want the truth, people who cry beacause “minimum effort for isk” are the minority on this post , a lot of people want CCP to answer on other point, and some other people pollute the message by trolling " eat this afk carebear".
And it will not be that surprising if CCP will also nurf the Gila and The abyss…
I like how your low effort playstyle has got nerfed and you are so angry about it not only can you not write in coherent english but you think a SEBO is a BS nerf.
L2P noob
So you are noob beacause you don’t get the point.
How many sebo to have a 2 seconde time target on BS when you want to lock a frigate.
But as a noob you don’t know game mechanics, so you can’t understand it’s a nerf.
So choose you’re side; you are a noob or a troll. (or in you’re case maybe twice).
But you can’t go against fact: it’s a nerf for active player to.
Targeting for Dummies: Target BS/C and shoot it, while targeting frigs, if frigs are targetet shoot it too.
Ok so for noob who don’t know game, i could understand undock is hard.
In some site frigate and only frgate spawn on you : you kill they actually BEFORE the end of lock time by a BS with 2 sebo.
Now explain me where it’s not a nerf.
what do you do with BS on frig Site dummie?
In some site they are litterraly triger after a lot of BS kill… so it’s not a “frigate site”.(and im sure CCP have forget it with time)
But you do’nt know PVE and you proof it post after post.
