For more information see here Bug Report Template Build: 4262 Mode: Survival SERVER NAME: NA SEED-ID: Any If applicable: MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: Both Reproducibility: Always Severity: Major Type: Drone AI Summary: Space drones do not attack when spawned via the PDA or debug menu Description: If a space drone is spawned via either the PDA or via the debug menu, they will fly around but will not fire on the player or their ship. Affects vanilla space drones in Default Random and both vanilla and custom drones in Reforged Eden. I did not test drones spawned via the playfield files. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Start a default survival game and go to orbit. 2) Use the faction command to set your reputation to 0 with Zirax or other factions. 3) Use the debug menu to spawn space drones of those factions. The drones will not fire on the player. 4) Spawn a ship and give it power and the drones will still not fire on you or your ship.

Taelyn recommended trying the "SpawnDroneIgnoreOtherTarget" set to false. I tried with both settings and the drones still do not attack the player when spawned via the PDA on planets or in space.
I think there may be a correlation between this and https://empyriononline.com/threads/zirax-pois-no-longer-attack-drones-00874.101460/ The drones being spawned via PDA/Debug do not seem to correctly inherit the faction they claim to represent maybe.
