Signed,
And CCP should fire all their developers and read this forum instead. Eve should be open source, players can then make all the necessary upgrades and ccp can save a bundle by cutting out the middle man. Then maybe cut our subscription fees.

I can just imagine a carriers drone bay at the moment: overview: what overview? the space is taken up with lines and lines of drone controls.
I've seen quite a few ideas that use icons that are similar to the modules icons, all of them are good ideas, and some are more complicated then others, just the simplest of new drone UIs would be good!

If this is not implemented really soon it is because they are jealous they didn't come up with such a damn good idea first.
CCP, Swallow your pride. Implement.

Edited by: subvert on 22/12/2006 23:19:36 I agree a new drone UI would be nice.
AND drone hotkeys!!! You can f1-f8 your guns, how about 3 keys, 1 to command active drones to attack, 1 to command active drones to orbit, 1 to command active drones to come in.
and drone ai still needs some tweaking. they hump each other too much and dont MWD when they are supposed to, it means if you need to safespot and your t2 drones hump or dont MWD you have to either risk getting your ship blown up or leave behind millions and millions of ISK in drones and have to go buy more.
any drone aggro problems if there are still also should be fixed. before it was impossible to do level 4 missions with drone ships because of the aggro bugs, not sure if its still like that but I dont think anyone uses them for missions anymore which is a shame because drones can do any damage type like missiles, so if they worked for aggro I think people would use them for missions

I have seen several suggestions now here there and everywhere.
True drones need to be updated.
It hasnt been because its an interface which has worked for a long time. (people complain when new things dont work so its an if it aint broke dont fix it, i bet ccp have it in developement for the next "major" patch).
I know you can launch groups of drones or indiviual drones with the right click menu (currently). It would be nice to have a launch group/drone button and a choice between tickboxes, type of drone and number of drones. They attempted to simplify escrow. Why not the same with drones. Make more choices about your drones to start (while in dock or in space), eg what groups they will be in (group of heavy drones), tick boxes and a launch button to launch the groups/drones you have ticked. A maximum selection feature when you have reached your maximum number of drones selected you can launch (ship and skill dependent). This sort of feature should come under a settings box for drones rather than be on the interface. The interface should contain what the drones are doing and what you can do with them, eg launch/return (also get rid of the scoop feature totally and have a button if there is a drone near enough that scoops (if the drone is inactive/owner has left it) the drone straight to your drone bay or cargo if drone bay is full, itll go green or sumat but remains greyed out otherwise)
also in the settings for drones i propose a tick switch for auto launch another drone when one dies to the maximum number of drones you can have in space. another drones settings tickbox should be a command for drones to automatically pick their own targets or to stay in their group and all go for the same targets
(so so far thats 2 buttons and a settings box)
final button which does 3 jobs for drones.... ok
the engage button
this button will work on active targets. if activated it will flash green like the modules on a ship. if you press the button again while on the same target it goes red briefly and the drones disengage. on chosing another target and pressing the button the drones will automatically switch to the new target and the green light will stay on.
I also believe that there should be a final 4th button to queue targets for drones and a new skill to go with it for target queing (drones and weaponry queuing, weaponry could come later though after that has been thought through)
drones should also have health indicators when back in the drone bay, can we also mark targets when a drone is attacking them eg a little symbol in the corner whether you have the target locked or not
i agree with all the things people have said but we need to define the buttons to make it easier. hopefully this is a nice full listing and people will agree. can we get a forum mods opinion on these subjects and pass it on to the devs for the next dev blog, this is a hot topic and players want it addressed!

Drone controls still suck monkey balls, so lets do the bumpy thing :p --- Get rid of those *bleep*ing secure containers. *bleep*! |

I'm not much of a drone user, but I agree the current interface needs a complete overhaul, and this seems like a good direction for it.

the op deserves a cookie (and implementation of his idea) However, I still think EvE needs more and better tactical warning sounds.

Also a couple of drone control scripts would be awesome too. Something like 'attack as group', 'attack frigs only', etc would be super awesome as well. I just cringe everytime my drones split up.

This is by far the best suggestion I've seen, and I don't even use drones much
Would love to see something like this implemented.

Since drones AI has been improved (it's not perfect but a lot better than it was when i frst started playing) It's a good idea to revamp the interface a little.

You are not alone in the bumpage.
Bump and I love this idea, even as a widescreen user it would be one hell of a lot easier on the eyes,rsi and mouse, poor mouse. Lets see if my sig can survive this round of *****ing
