I have a small request for a tweak to the existing drone UI.

"Drones in Space" are currently displayed in the following format: Drone TypeStatus [Health Bars]

I propose a small addition so that they take the form: Drone TypeStatus (Range to objective) [Health Bars]

Photos below:

Yes, this is good. Would save from overview hassle if your get separated from your drones or sentries

I'd like some kind of option added to the UI that lets me tell my drones to stay within X distance of my ship. Surely 20,000 years in the future our drones are at least smart enough for that. We can even put it on the radial menu and make it a slider like the other variable-distance commands we have.

Or just give the drones the standard NPC AI so the react themself and attack the most dangerous target to them.

I freakin hate Arch Gistii Impaler slaughtering my drones the instant I throw them out just because my drones think its more important to attack a destroyer...
