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

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.
Poor soul didnt have time to log out.
anyway ,those shields pets compared to real cheese pets (tetryon or those kdf siphon or whatever they are called) are really lol.iirc 2500hp each ,they tend to pop even if you look at them
Yeah, seriously.
I can't keep them alive to save my life.
