The supposed opposition to AFK missioning and mining is simply a rationalization that allows people to grief weak targets without feeling guilty.
In reality the main reason to leave mission drones on aggressive is for missions that disrupt targeting.
You will almost certainly have the same problem if you deploy FoF missiles when targeting is disrupted.
In both cases being at the keyboard will not avoid your drones targeting the wrong target.
The only solution would seem to be pull in the MTU when targeting is disrupted and you need to go aggressive.
I am not sure how that is "working as intended" but there are bigger oddities with drones - apparently remote repping drones is a bannable offense at GM discretion so I think this is mild in comparison and simply a case of "following the referees call" and pull your MTU in when you need to go aggressive.
Only, generally.... if you are active at your keyboard you will see the person attacking your MTU and would either recall your drones so that they dont get destroyed too, or to high tail it out, or to stop them aggro-ing and making you a target... cause well....
Drones are called that for a reason THEY DONT THINK...
they just Do.
Pretty sure FoF missiles will behave in exactly the same fashion.
Friend or Foe ("F.O.F") missiles are available in standard-, heavy-, and cruise-launcher sizes. They can be fired without a locked target and will strike the nearest hostile ships or object.
Working as intended then.... as suspect for damaging your own gear = hostile.... am i right?
Again. If a Hi Sec mission runner is NOT afk, and NOT a bot.... Hi Sec runner should have the brains NOT to fire FoF if their stuffs getting shot at....
if they see a yellow blip, and STILL fire off the missiles.... then its their own damned fault and they shouldnt come crying here about it.
Cause and Effect, my friend.
Stupidity, Laziness or Carelessness being the cause....
rage, tears, and a kill mail being the result.
People should take responsibility for their actions and stop blaming "Broken" game mechanics
