I upgraded Volus Mercenary's Combat drone with Shock Attack(close range) and Missiles(long distance).
I summon the thing right close to an enemy and I expect it will Shock the enemy but nooooo... It decides to run away from enemy(In middle of the fight I havent check if it shot missiles or not).
Sometimes theres an enemy at mid range and I expect it will shot a missile at enemy, but noooooo... It decides to go into close distance.

Does Combat Drone has a fixed order of attacks?? Like it already has a missile as a "next attack" and so it gets far away from enemy to shot it? And vice versa?

never spec into missiles cause for some reason the drone will hide behind cover and bug out. respec it do do chain lightning.

missiles are dumb

with rocket drone I've noticed that it tends to move some distance from its target which is counterproductive if specced for shock. So if I was to spec it with rockets I would go with more health/damage buff instead.

I personally would go with shock, exploding, chain overload.

I did that before(shock and shock overload), but now that I did the Rocket update (even with bipolar behavior) I think I kind of see the Emo Drone doing more kills :S
Sucks Emo Drone not doing close attacks in close distances and having long distance rocket to go persuing enemie without shoting rocket. Bioware better improve Emo Drone AI for MassEffect 4.

Also ¿whats Emo Drone's attack time rate? ¿X seconds or its own power cooldown time?

As an expert on the volus merc. I actually run the combat drone with shock and rocket. It's not bad you would actually be doing more damage with shock and rocket going off in quick succession rather than going for the extra damage rank 5 for just the rockets. Then again it depends on what you're trying to get out of your combat drone.

 

As for combat AI I didn't notice anything strange, it will always try to fall back and do the rockets and sometimes it's still in shock range. 

Also my reason I chose rocket because I use it to get cheap phantom kills when they pull out their shield which allows easy reegar carbine kills.

 

It's actually funny to watch, sometimes a geth bomber has trouble trying to kill rocket spec'd combat drone because sometimes it falls back out of range from geth bomber's line of grenades and it will end up chasing the combat drone.

I had to look up what you meant

[Tantum Dic Verbo]

Bipolar combat drones are sub-optimal.  You want drones with Borderline Personality Disorder.  The pervasive insecurity keeps them close to their targets, unable to move away.  The intense fear of abandonment causes them to do terrible things to the targets, constantly testing the bond.  Eventually, of course, the target moves on (or dies), and the cycle repeats itself, with the drone becoming more and more deeply embroiled in a spiral of futility, eventually engaging in intense self-destructive behavior.

Like these people said, Combat drone is for chain stunning. If you want to use rockets, stick to sentry turrets.

Yeah, that's what it seems like to me.  The rocket drone always wants to shoot rockets, so it tends to distance itself from enemies so it can fire.  I find rockets to be useful, as they do pretty good damage and cause staggers/combat rolls, but if you're doing rockets, I think you need to spec for max damage to get the most out of them.  Rockets and Shock don't pair well together, but the chain evolution pairs extremely well with shock and detonate evolutions.

Electrical Suicide Drone is best drone. Rocket Drone is a tree hugger that just wants to run from the battle.

That's what you get for speccing out of Lithium.
