Nice changes, when will they come to TQ?
Also may I suggest to add better shortcuts and features for better drone usability?
in particular
* it should be possible to give orders to individual drones. so if I select 1 of my drones in overview, and issue shortcut command, it should only affect that one drone. Or make it another shortcut, one for each drone command. This would be very useful to call off drones that are being targeted, since while I right-click the drone and then select "return and orbit" (which I have to search for since its in the pile of tens of other useless options) the drone is sadly already a gas cloud.
* Add button (near each group in drone window) and/or shortcuts to launch particular group from the drone bay, so I don't have to right click and select "launch", while scrolling the drone window since it gets expanded all the time and you dont' see all the groups.
How to identify a group with a shortcut? well maybe let there be some special substring in group name that identifies it as assigned group, for example group name "#1 he-th" makes it group for launching with shortcut "Launch group #1" etc.
* It'd be useful to automatically assign new drones that I put to drone bay to certain groups. For example, I had a drone killed in combat and I then add the replacement, then when I undock it's not in any group so I have to add it there, which takes time. Why not just group the drones in drone bay together with other drones of the same type? This should be an option, of course, for those pilots who use groups of different drone types.
And another idea, not drone related -
it should be possible to reprocess stuff from station containers. For example when I am missioning, I put all the junk I loot with my Noctis into a special 'junk' container. When enough stuff accumulated, to reprocess it, I have to make temporary container, move all the useful stuff from hangar into that, move items from the junk container to hangar, select all, find and deselect containers, then finally reprocess, then move all the useful stuff from the temporary container back into the hangar.
Would be much faster to just right-click on the junk container and select "reprocess all contents".
