Have you tested this against NPCs or only players, or are you assuming, based on the patch notes?
not in pve or pvp, passive or agressive, assist or guard - doesnât trigger drones to atack npc or player attacked⌠only F, and this makes drones half-useless in nonsolo pvp fights⌠and ratting drone fleets will now send 10 times more data to server to compute. lock-f *50 times insted of assist. OR ccp MUST players to switch their format without givin anything insted. if this a fiture - drop all drone skills to free SP at leastâŚ
Game doesnât launch for me after todayâs patch. Launcher doesnât do anything.
EVE Online can handle 2000 people in Jita spamming Hypernet links constantly. Iâm sure it can handle people pressing F a couple of times.
The difference being that Jita is on a dedicated separate beefed up node normally only reserved for large fleet fights. All other systems share normal nodes.

I mean, i know what you guys are implying. âPressing F is gonna cause so much server strain that EVE is going to crash, you should revert the change!â
Which is a hilariously bad argument. Because itâs literally live right now, and itâs fine.

I had the same issue RP/day and mission rewards decreased after interaction. did complete missions
what the hell is up with R&D? before patch I was getting 70 RP/day for Level 3 and 91 RP/Day for level 4 agents: https://prnt.sc/vyo6ju
Now Iâm showing between 22 and 23 RP/Day???: https://prnt.sc/vyo38o
and why are the level 3 agents giving MORE RP than the level 4 ones??
Edit:
Confirmed the daily missions are still giving the correct amount of RP upon completion.

Indeed,
Whatâs going on with Research AgentsâŚ
Max Skilled went from 119.x to 32.x RP/Day
And thatâs just by talking to the agent

So Drone Assist, something that was not mentioned in the patchnotes, is supposed to now do literally nothing against npcs? Is this intended behavior and players were not notified or is this a bug that hasnât been updated on the known issues list yet?

At this point it seems that CCP is deciding if they want to make it a feature.
It has been tested. Iâve already stated that I donât know about PvP, that my experience is in PvE.
The patch notes say they are changing the behaviour of aggressive set drones, and says nothing about a change of assist behaviour for drones, or to drones that are set to passive. Yet behaviour for passive assisted drones has changed - so, thereâs either a bug, or itâs an uncommunicated but intentional change.
There is no assumption here. The behaviour has changed, and that change is not documented.

If by which you mean that drones set to aggressive basically behave as if theyâre set to passive in a PvE context, yes, itâs working, and I actually have very little issue with that.
What I have issue with is that the âassistâ behaviour of drones (which had nothing to do with them set to aggressive, we in-fact intentionally set them to passive. so that they require manual direction to a target) has changed in a way that has in no way been documented by CCP or communicated as being intentional.
I strongly suspect that when changing the behaviour for aggressive-set drones, theyâve inadvertently changed the behaviour of passive-set assisted drones. What needs to be established now is whether it will stay that way.

PvP behaviour was not meant to have changed. If it has, document the specific tests youâve done to show that, and provide that info - it would mean more has gone wrong.
Is it intentional that the word Scan Range was removed from below the range slider?
They donât seem to have thought about it very long or they would have limited the impact to AFK players by, for example, only breaking the drones when a player doesnât attack anything for X minutes or something. Identifying which players are, and are not, actively interacting with the client wouldnât be hard.

Same thing on my end. Every system I visited has had a âfakeâ signature that disappeared after first scan.
Everybody so busy bitching about the drone changes weâre not even going to mention that banning new players from setting Jita as home station is just a bad gameplay change that hurts new only new players.
Imagine spending 3 months âupgradingâ a trade hub and as soon as the project is finished it loses functionality.

EBR-211141: SOME TRAITS OF (ERIS, FLYCATCHER AND ARAZU) ARE DISPLAYING INCORRECTLY IN SHOW INFO
If I understand correctly, in a system between 0.0 and -0.5 there shodul be two ore signatures containing arkonor and bistot.
It is not the case, there is just one.
Edited: So it was the first day, now it seems that there is two anomalies as expected in every system.
