Wait for update, I have found that bot need to focus to drone window before sending drones with shift + f default hotkey.
Also check that drones are in aggro state after first run or bot will have hard times to kill all frigates in T3 mission.

As after the update bot still won't launch drones, do i need to fit a turret on ishtar to trigger combat or something?
(I did the first run again clearly)

Could you please change your avatar, as I start to confuse where is my posts and where is yours.
Send me log file as per link in my signature. I will check if bot tried to launch drones or not. Also screen your settings. Did you set drones to full mode?

just tried again, yes with drones in full mode, bot won't launch them; it gets into the abyss, starts modules, orbits cache first then npc and just keeps obiting them

You did not register any fit yet.
When your ship is ready to run abyss site (modules and rigs fitted, drones loaded to bay, ammo/paste loaded to cargohold, filaments unloaded) open fitting. Copy fit to clipboard



Open new ship fiting plan and paste fit to bot



Finally define module positions in modules settings. If you dont want to purchase a copy of your fit, strip fitting and repackage, so bot will know that nothing is missing
