I agree that the drone UI really needs some improvements... You would have thought that Team Game of Drones would have been given that task but apparently not.
Anyway, i have always though that droneboats should be able to use drones exclusevly as their primary weapon but with the current mechanics, it's tought to do.
I think CCP should introduce high slot drone mods that do the following:
1. Add bandwidth
2. Increase drone EHP
3. Increase number of drones in space (maybe to a limit of 7 drones total)
4. Repair drones while they are in the drone bay
5. Overheat drone stats (a scripted module that can boost dps, speed, tracking etc)
And if CCP are are wondering, yes i am available to help design this.

And lose the other bonuses to the ship I assume.
yeah i guess so but if you put these drone mods in the high slots, what are you going to do, fit 1 gun to your domi?
When i first started playing, i was lead to believe (through the game lore) that Gallente were drone specialists... sadly this was a lie that i didn't discover until after i had sunk skill points into drones.

Wrong. The drone UI is carp. Fact. This thread is about mechanics, not UI though. Everyone knows the UI is bad, why not fix it instead of removing what little decent mechanics drones have.
Decent mechanics? Please explain what is decent about the drone mechanic... Launch drones > click engage > retract drones 
Both the mechanics and the UI need improving.

I we are talking solely about drone UI, then for me it's simple. Add something similar to the ship wheel where i can preform actions with one click of the mouse.

Launch drones > click engage > retract drones You're missing: - Assisting another player - one person can determine where multiple flights of drones go. - Assisting another player - assign your drones to the inty for decloaking duty at gates. - Aggressive mode, orbiting you - The instant a tackler or E-war boat does something to you, they get drone-loving. - Guard mode on another key ship - same as the one above - pick on that ship, get drone aggro. Drones weren't just easy-mode for ratting and missions.
Oh my comments were not to 100% support what the OP has said. I'm just posting my opinion what should be done with drones.
I don't think any of the current features should be removed.

Yeah, another nice programmable behavior would be that drones disengaged their current target and attacked anyone using a specific module on you. E.g. if a falcon jams you, your drones immediately go after the falcon.
