Hehe.
It would be a nerf to what you feel when you've messed it up and accidently forgotten to scoop your drones.
Full automatic scooping of drones? Nay.
But what about this change so you dont forget your drones any more:
Ignore warp command untill you either scoop or abandon your drones.

No. There are times when I want to warp where I really don't care what happens to the drones. Forcing me to first abandon them before I can warp out can mean the difference between a wreck and requiring some repairs.
Drones, your super useful, discardable friends in space.
You don't want to lose/forget your drones in space? Pay attention and return them to the hold before warping.
A reconnect functionality, such as now exists for probes, that would be an agreeable feature.

Screw that man. My ship is worth way more then some drones. If I need to jam out of somewere and dont have time for my drones so be it.
If your to brain dead to recall your drones before you warp so be it.

When you launch drones, they become members of your fleet- green boxes w/ white stars- and as the fleet commander you should be able to fleet warp with them.

Drones don't have warp drives.
An option to have drones automatically return as soon as you go 'warp drive active' may be useful for people with all too common disconnects. If the drones don't make it back, oh well, but it'd be better than losing them all the time of no (real) fault of your own. Of course this would be optional, sometimes you want your drones on the target and just forget about them while you start warping off. |

no, please dont implement features for braindead people.
If you forget you deserve losing them, this is ok so. Requires some thinking by playing the game. |

Its something thats needed definitely.
I've been in the situation when I've disconnected and my drones stuck in the middle of a collidable object - no chance on retrieving it back.
Disconnecting and losing your drones is the main reason I support this, its cost me too much. |

I agree with the OP, drones should at least make an attempt to return to your drone bay when you initiate warp. However, I don't think your ship should sit and wait for them. If they make it back, great. If not, oh well. Never let them fly beyond the PNR.
Speaking of which, a PNR (Point of No Return) or maximum flying distance setting for drones would be a nice feature, with or without any automated behavior.

we also need an automatic way of killing targets instead of having to press those pesky buttons |

Oh hey! Let's turn off auto-attack for every module so that you have to press the button every time to fire or whatever. I mean only brain-dead people fight with them on.
Face it, that would suck and there are some things where automation is very useful. If you really think it part of the skill to be able to remember every time to return your drones to your bay then we obviously differ greatly in our opinions on what skill is.
Niggling little oversights are a part of our life but fortunately there are efforts to remind us of them. That noise your car makes when you forget to turn your lights off, that message you get when you make a syntax error. Would you have these messages removed?
I'd still propose, if an automatic return to drone bay would be as controversial as you guys make it out to be, then at least a warning would suffice. I go through the motions of killing off the NPC's in a little pocket of deadspace and one gets so absorbed in continuing the mission that it is easy to lose track of such small things as drones. Maybe a message "you are about to leave your drones, would you like to continue" would keep me from forgetting. |

my question here is.. does the server know the difference between E-warp on disconnect and regular warp? I would assume it does since its what initiates e-warp, but I could be wrong. I would support a return command in the ewarp function, even if your drones dont make it back before you warp, they would at least be closer to you when you reconnect and ewarp back, in theory, anyway. I would not support a generic return command for every time your warp drive activated.
Absolutely everything is subjective. |

This idea would be ok, as long as we could turn off the reminder message if we don't want to see it (like the rest of the warning messages). |

The server knows the difference between a player initiating warp and a player disconnecting so warp is initiated automatically. I don't believe it knows the difference between a "Oh no! I lost my connection" and a "I got myself into a bad situation so I'm going to logoffski!" I would hate to give a boost to weak "log off to save my dumb ass" manouvers so they get to keep thier drones when they do it. |

why not just get the NPC's to not shoot offline drones? |

i mentioned skill where? i didn't mention that its common sense to pull your drones in, nor that its a mistake the average player would only rarely make. though the latter two are actually my opinion not your assumption. sorry, but there's certain times in this game that you'll have to think about what your doing. what next? guns auto-loading ammo before you undock, and cargo putting itself in your ship before you haul it?
if drones are such a hassle that this is a feature you really need, then i suspect you have bigger problems |

You're making the same logical fallacy that Dobson makes against gay marriage.
