I was wondering if we could see a feature in witch if A ship is about to warp it prompts you with a warning telling you that your drones are still deployed. This can be like the message boxes that can be toggled off and re enabled in the options menu, this will save tons of players allot of time and ISK and I would love to see this feature. Big smile

So many people are going to die if this cancels warp.

Drones are supposed to be expendable.

EvE-Mail me if you need anything.

I mostly mean larger ships that take a bit longer to warp, and it does not cancel warp, it simply prompts you that you have drones out and you can cancel a align before you warp.

This feature already exists. It's called the drone window. If you're unable to look at the window that you control drones from to recall them before warping, then you deserve to lose some drones.

Besides, the drones don't just despawn. If there's no rats to pop the drones, you can just scan them down and retrieve them.
