One minor complaint I have with drones is that if I have some drones sitting close to my ship, and other sitting just outside the "scoop to drone bay" range, there is no quick command to recall all of them at once.
I've also had it that after killing some NPCs my drones were flying back to me. I sent the return order, but between me right clicking to bring up the menu, and me clicking the return command, one of the drones passed into the scoop range. This meant that while the other drones returned to the ship this drone simply orbited my ship, as he was too close to listen to the return command.
So why have the two separate recall commands when it seems a much better idea to have a single recall command that will cause all drones you control to do their best to return to the drone bay, regardless of how far from the ship they actually are.

I think it would be better to just rename the "Return To Drone Bay" command to "Recall Drones". There is still some functionality with the "Scoop to Drone Bay" command for drones that you don't have control over. Say, you left there because you had to warp out or something.
What you could do is only have the "Recall Drones" available for drones you control in space. And then have the "Scoop to Drone Bay" command available for drones that aren't under your command.

I have not tested this in a few weeks, but last time I tried, I still have an issue with drones not closing to within scoop range. This appears to happen while I am on the move most of the times. I wish they would change the orbit range to 1000 meters and the scoop range to 3000 meters. I think that would resolve this issue.
Normally when this happens, I am either in a BC or BS, I think a light drone should be able to dock with a < 200 m/s ship without have to turn around.

It's a lot better than it used to be, but you're right, every so often they just approach scoop range asymptotically and won't get in until I move a tiny bit in the opposite direction, which can be a real hassle for Caldari battleships, on account of our embarrassing lack of agility.
