Love the new radial menu, however one of my issues is operating drones having to use the context menu.
Could you please add a radial option to launch a drone group/control a drone group?
and/or:
Having some assignable hot key to a drone group would really be awesome as well.
I understand why its impossible to have a generic launch drones button, but once they are in a group, it would be great to control them. |

But it's not impossible. It would just do what the context menu does if you have no drone groups and more than 5 drones -- it picks the first 5, whatever first happens to mean.
Either way, we need a button, a hot-key, a radial menu, something simpler than a context menu. All of the other areas of the UI have seen great updates in the past year, but drones are left behind. |

The Drones in Eve..haa what a long story.. I won't blame you for repost OP but you are frankly not the first one to ask about revamping the drone UI..
The drone UI in Eve suffer this rare sickness that is happening to some features in Eve where they don't want to change it because they may want to REDESIGN the entire feature instead of sticking pre-made UI from an other feature..
The radial is nice but as I noticed during the few hour I played with it: The radial is meant to be used in space.. (and overview..since having space stuff lined up in a sortable list is still the more efficient way of dealing a lot of items.) not in menus etc..
As a short term solution and to be in line with the intended game design idea of the radial menu to actually interact with stuff in space instead of in a list: We should be able to give a Radial command to a drone and have ALL dones following the command. (when you have "Focus Fire" set to ON ) |

Since they'd revamped the radial menu, I was hoping that team might still be interested in extending it some.
As a bare minimum adding that would be fine, I'm more of a hotkey person than a clicker.
I'm hoping for more than control over first five, since I want to mainly run drone boats. So first 5 would be useless to me :-(
Glad a couple people seem interested, and I'm sure the idea was posted in the past, but as I said, they were working on that radial thing, and that would extend fairly decent to the drone menu.
