[#1687][6.20] Defence Drones don't Defend in Low Attention

When you load in cancel the Nemesis' order to fly away and instead approach the HAT Farm just in front of it.

Some Xenon Ps have been bothering the HAT Farm for some time. One of my traders got uncomfortably close so I came out meaning to kill them, but the station launches drones on my arrival and swiftly eliminates the Ps. Which raises the question, why didn't it do that before?

This is a pretty common phenomenon in my experience. Often with Kha'ak in remote areas where combat ships don't pass by and clean them up. I am not sure why but drones in low attention seem massively ineffective compared to when the player is around. We are told their damage is simulated even if the drones aren't, but if that's true, where is it going? If it was simulated in any way close to what really happens, those ships would have died before my Nemesis left the Alpha Fleet in Silent Witness XI where it was parked. They most likely would have died even before my trader spotted them. Something is not working right here.
