would it be possile to have maybe different sections/hangers to drone bay, currently when i need to launch my drones i just hit select all and then launch.
however I only use heavy drones atm after these changes come in effect id have a few different types, to manually launch the drones would be a pain in the b*tt.
I apoligse if theres somethin like this already in testing ill be on choas 2morrow to see what changes are like

just been on choas and did some testing, I orbited a rax at 5km in a rifter with a mwd, he launched 9 light drones and fired his blasters at me...the light drones rarely hit me and if they did caused minimal damage, hell his blasters hit me more often.
I then got a vigil out orbited him again and he double webbed me the light drones alone hitting me tooke over 2mins of firing to kill me.
Seems light drones are to be used by frigates purely to lag people out as the damage is minimal.
The only frig defense i can see possible by a bs or cruiser is to always have atleast 1 web and a missile launcher. Or try to get a lucky hit with a smartbomb. Fortunatly Large smartbombs pawn drones so there a must fit aswell.
Another major problem is while i was orbiting the rax in the rifter i tried to shoot his drones, firing light missiles and using a pair of 250mm howies.
Understandly the 250's have not got much chance of hitting it but the light missiles couldnt get the drone...
Light missile speed 1000m/s, light drone 3000m/s.

i fight blood faction npcs in 0.0 alot, flying a apoc and my heavy and cruise launcher pawns the ceptors about 3 missiles from each bye bye npc ceptor....... 
If i want to kill a few at a time i use my heavy drones, but sadly not anymore and loading up light drones is pointless 
I totally agree with meridius's last post
