-Autopilot button inside the station. You press it and the Autopilot undocks and flies to your target
-Drones Attack button. Why on earth is this not implemented yet. I hate attacking with drones! Give us justa a small button that we click and our drones attack. Just like freaking every other mmo has with pets.
Should be work for just a couple of hours and makes the game alot better. Just do it. Thanks! |

There is a drones attack button. I'm not sure what it's called, but I have a hotkey for setting my drones on a target. Oh god. |

There is no denying that a obvious improvement on the current drone mechanics is a obvious improvement. Even launching the correct drones is a clusterfuck if you think about how a UI could work.
The fact that we worked around that clusterfuck for years and managed to get by, doesnt mean its good and there's no room for improvement.
Comments like 'its fine' reminds me of the southpark IT's FINE episode. Where everbody seems to enjoy his new ride but you know something is not okay in that design.

I agree both of these are major obstacles for proper AFK macro'ing. One of the oldest mission players in EVE designed a chart that explains stat priority in regards to mission running, compared Alpha, DPS, Ship Speed and Sig Radius and scores them. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m24dbrfuWn1r86ax8o1_1280.jpg |

I wear a button that says "strong like ox, smart like cart." sometimes.
I have one that says "Kiss me I'm Irish" that I don't wear, I just have it.
I think I'm going to make one that says "Kick me, I'm on autopilot" to hand out at fanfest someday.
I guess those are the only 3 I can think of offhand. -áImmersion = gameplayer self worth? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsEPP3YQcxQ |

I think the OP means assigning a icon on the UI for drones... which makes sense actually.

I don't think the autopilot idea is really...good. At all.
However the drone button could work, but with the way drones are implemented at the moment, I don't think it would be much of an improvement. If you had a button it would really only be useful if you only had one type of drone, otherwise to change drones you would have to right click and then select them like ammunition, based on their grouping. |

Undocking and going on autopilot Is two clicks, they're even both on the lower half of the screen. How is reducing that to one click by adding another button an improvement? Not seeing it.
"Drones attack", however, has some merit, at least. Many is the time I have right clicked and thought I hit "engage target" only to find out a minute later all I did was collapse the group. |

You know why i wish there was this Station Autopilot? Because sometimes undocking lasts ages and waiting for that is crap... This small button would make unimportant hauling much more fun. |

You'd be better off asking for a "Dispense beer" button if your goal is to make "unimportant hauling" fun. Its the only way.
Sorry, but Station Autopilot just smacks of "I'm too lazy to click two buttons". |

You can actually activate the autopilot from inside the station by clicking the capital A left of Route, select "activate autopilot" and then just undock. |

I think the reason not to have drone launch groups is because the groups are dynamic and code would have to be made to attach a hotkey to groups that may not exist and whatnot.
Recall drones is easily done on extra mouse keys (most mice have extra ones this days) and you can recall that way much faster then hitting a key on a keyboard really. I suddenly woke up thinking I had a nightmare, then remembered I can't even fly Amarr Battleships. I add bits to this when I'm bored https://www.dropbox.com/s/foijsawsqolarom/EVE_Online.html |

F But heh, obviously going to the esc. to see that it has keybinds is too much effort for the OP.. Like hitting the undock button and then autopilot is also too much work. OP is just lazy. p.s. didn't anybody tell you that Autopilot is slow and dangerous
Hotkeys are fine and dandy but a whole new and IMPROVED drone control interface would be great. |

My drones are assigned the following keyboard shortcuts: Attack: Ctrl+1 Return and orbit: Ctrl+2 Return and dock: Ctrl+3 So there already are keyboard shortcuts, you just have to assign them.

I would kill for a "launch drones and engage" shortcut
even more so if I had one of these for each drone group |

Step 1: click the link below, and buy item. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Programmable-Gaming-Keyboard-Display/dp/B001NXDBI6
Step 2: set macro for "attack current target" to one of the "G Keys"
Step 3: watch your tiny minions rip into the target like a pack of space wolves
Step 4: watch for aggro shift, so you don't have to hold memorial services for your beloved mechanical friends :( (PS: I get sad when my drones die. I feel like I've somehow let them down... the fact that the ones who survive still obey me, just makes me even sadder) "you can identify eve players by looking at their cars.

A drone interface rework would be nice.
A log out to character select would be very nice also.
I would like a loot all button. Any wreck or cargo container within range would be looted according to your security lock thingy. I know people cry about making the game ez-mode, but opening 40 wrecks with 80 clicks and then clicking loot 40 more times is nothing but excessive clicking.
Oh, and fixing the tagging system so FC's can click and type in the tag instead of navigating the tagging menu.

As per Jake Warbird, these two would make sense. Though implementation would take a while for a full drone UI improvement.
On the Autopilot, that's just being lazy. I should know, I am lazy as hell. |

That's perfect if you want to watch YouTube on your keyboard (It runs on Linux! A Keyboard with its own OS...) while playing fullscreen EVE.
For people who simply want easy drone controls, try a Logitech G510. |
