When I go mining I bring a pair drones. If a rat shows up and starts shooting at me the drones attack him automatically drones set to aggressive and focus fire).
However. if a rat shows up and I do not have any drones out, when I launch my drones they don’t attack the rat. They just orbit me. I have to lock on the rat and then set each to Engage Target.
Why don’t they attack if I’m already under attack?
You have to “activate” the drones first - you have to manually order the drones to attack the first target you want them to attack after launching them.
Drone aggression appears to be triggered by the engagement of the rat - if the rat is already engaged with you, the drone AI doesn’t seem to get its cue to automatically engage the rat in turn. Drone AI is pretty simplistic, so I am not surprised that it doesn’t have that kind of context (launch drone after initial engagement, drone recognizes existing engaged threats and joins in the battle) cared for in its programming.
it’s just event reaction : they react to a new threat by adding them to the aggressive list.
The correct fix would be to replay the events of aggression when a drone is launched
