Shield Repair Drones

The new AI either sucks or is broken for the drones...The escort command allowing you're hangar pets to fly over to your teammate and start healing their ship no longer works. They either stay and heal you or do nothing in the command. However the attack/intercept command does allow for the drones to explore and heal various targets that need it, with that said the drones go and heal each other in a never ending circle or heal other npc's on the map over any player ship.
P.S. -Not great at forum post's :)

    Strike there seems to be a lot more broken than just shield repair drones. other pets are not behaving properly as well.

    The attack command on shield repair drones does not seem to work very reliable either, sometimes it worked sometimes it did not, regardless of the heal targets shields status...

    weird.

    Not sure if this is specifically related to the recent pet changes or not but I've noticed pets not behaving correctly for several weeks now. I thought it was just an isolated case but I guess not... I don't use pets all too often but something's definitely not right with them.

    Yeah the pet AI in general broke last patch. The funny thing with shield drones, is they spend more time healing themselves than healing you lol. Hope this gets fixed soon. I like the changes they're making, just wish they worked :)
