Stop exploitive use of the TPG test pilot mission strike force drones

Dec 27, 2016 xperia link
Well, how would I guess that as soon as a loophole was found, [someone] would exploit it.
The exploit in question is using the defensive drones issued in the TPG test pilot mission tree.
I have seen [players] using these drones as gank support in B8. This is a issue for the below reasons:
The ships never time out, they will stick around until killed
If the ships are killed, they can be picked up again quickly at N15, Latos
Furies are meant for defensive purposes, not free TPG WTDs
This issue is exploitation.
Even I could fix this issue with the PCC mission editior, just add
If player leaves sector, fail the mission to events.

Naming names... what a majestically wonderful idea! Tsk tsk, you know that Inc and Whistler don't like that.
