just to quickly explain the idea
- new type of drone, 5 of them orbiting you like normal. - the drones react to your enemies on grid and serves as a helpful UI. (its not meant to replace the overview UI, but serves as a alternative that works best during smaller battles) - visually more powerful and appealing way to get the necessary information during fights, the difference between life or death. - shifting focus from a watching a boring overview list to watching my ship and its pups - it can provide basic information such as who on the grid is approaching me, how far off and how fast he is moving toward me, - the information will be displayed on one of my drones that has stopped orbiting right between me and the opponent. - as soon as the opponent turns around and is running away from me the drone will react to that too, you basically watch your drones reactions instead of staring at numbers on a list all the way to the right of screen. - if one of my drones picks up a scent and stands still I just click on the drone and it will switch camera to the enemy ship.
more features can be added to this new UI in the future because this makes a decent foundation. information is power and power leads to more pvp encounters in eve. people should be consistently empowered with more accessible information, not just once or twice a year, I dont know but when was the last time information was buffed to be more accessible, useful, simple? |

But using this would massively disadvantage you against someone ho used a traditional overview and useful drones, so...why bother? |

yep you are right definately, on the flipside you could probably invent a rig or module that gives you bonus to dps from these specific drones, information is dps |

This is creative, but IMO not the way to fix EVE's spreadsheet-based UI.
EVE, because of what it is, may never be able to evolve away from a spreadsheet UI, but it could significantly increase the amount of gameplay information shown in the 3D world instead of lists and tables.
But this... is not the way to do that.
What if there's 10 ships on grid, and 6 are approaching you? What if 1 or more ships is burning manually, towards you, but not actually using the "Approach" command? What about ships orbiting you? What do the drones do to indicate that? What do the drones do when someone is burning away from you? OP wasn't clear... they react... how?
I just see no way this could be made useful.

I'm afraid that to me it seems a lot of effort (better spent elsewhere) would be needed to implement a feature I seriously doubt would be used more than once in a blue moon after the novelty value had worn off.
Not supported.
