From the sound of your description, it sounds like your overview isn't setup very well. If it was, you'd be able to target the drones from the overview holding down the ctrl key and left clicking the target in the overview instead of trying to click on them in space...
Have played around with the overview a bit and realised that there was lots of info I was missing before.
One thing Im having trouble with is how to save overveiw settings.
Lets say I go to a 0.4 system, the priority isnt the same as when I do something else, like doing a mission.
Im more interested in other players than anything else, their distance, speed, how much blinking red they are.
And while mining I migth be interested in, well asteroids.
Im guessing there is a fast way to switch.

also , check your options ( hit esc) there is a spot for how many hostile targets to target back . depending on your skills you might have been able to target them easier that way.
...
Have sometimes asked myself what that option did, will try using diffrent settings to see how it works.
Would be nice if it worked in unison with the overview, like if I set drones to a high priority, and a bunch of drones are attacking, they would be targeted as fast as possible. Migth be wishfull thinking.
Right click the white icon to left of overview, one you are looking for is save current selection as.. Other words set up your Mission overview as you like it, no junk in it just ships, then right click, choose save as, and type in the name Mission then when you are ready to do missions you right click same overview icon (white triangle) and load mission and you are set. May want to have 2 mission settings one that shows no Large collidable structures and one that does. So you just shows ships till they are dead then load the structures to see if you need to kill any for loot.
Can set up diff ones ones for mining so it just shows omber (or any one or combo type of roids) and ships. Have mine set to show diff ore types so for emp mining (omber,scord,plag,pye) one for Mission and so on.
So you would have mission ships, mission structures, Omber, Scord so on as options to load when you do diff things. Easy to do good hunting:)
