I would like to see drone damage in the drone bay the same as I see it when they are deployed.
It gets frustrating to pull a drone back in that is taking damage and to send the same one or another one that has damage back out.

Oh gods yes! +1

Being able to see damage in bay would be a huge advantage! I sometimes carry 10 drones and rotate them out on aggression or damage, it sucks to pop out a half dead one then fiddle to get him back and swap etc etc.

Also a Medium slot module to repair drones in bay ( heavy CPU and slow repair ) to save the high slot needed to fix them in space.

This could be really useful.

Something as simple as white dot or red dot for each of shield / armor / structure, where white is just for undamaged in each case.

They can use the same system as drones in space. There is a blank spot next to the drones in the drone bay the same size as the damage indicator of the drones in space.

I would also like to use Nanite Repair Paste on my drones.

Hell. YEAH! If this is actually added, I'll send you a minor ISK-donation as a thank-you. Nothing big, though. Maybe a million or two. CCP, add this. NOW!

+ 1, seems a pretty simple fix too. I hate jumping in a ship, undocking, and only realizing when I release my drones that half of them half no armor.
