and there are a few more threads about it i made a detailed post in all of them which i will crosspost in here maybe a mod can merge them so we have 1 better thread that covers all

1. you must be able to see drone damage in bay
2. a carrier should be able to repair drones/fighters in bay i mean its a freaking carrier
3. you should be able to make groups and control them as turrets (example carrier with 12 fighters 4 fighters on F1 and 4 on F2 and 4 on F3) so you can control drones better
4. attack/mine/repair with same button, if i am mining i need to right click group and select mine same for repairing with logi drones
5. drone assist/guard must be possible from fleet window and or the watchlist
6. focus fire option is great but it still spreads
7. sentry drones should receive a bonus from *race* specialisation skill i dont care what but they should gain something also ofc they need the *race* specialisation to use them i would say lvl 3 or 4

drones and POS`s are the biggest issues if you ask me. I know CCP is realy busy with rebalancing all the ships and they are doing a great job at that but damn fix drones and POS`s ASAP because its realy a big issue

edit: for point 3 en 4 i like to add (or clarify) that if you press F to engage all drones will always attack that target but if you use the groups you can remove a few and put them on another target. example

i attack an enemy carrier and press F so all my fighters attack that target if i select another target and press F1 the 4 fighters will engage the new target and the rest remains on current target. this way you can controll the fight way better specialy in carrier

How many people have to ask for this before it moves up the priority list?
