Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Currently there is no shortcut to launch drones, it has to be done via the mouse. This can be hard when under pressure, even harder if dual boxing.

It would be nice to group drones together and create a launch/attack/mine /salvage button all in one (would launch if they're in bay and would attack if outside). This button would show up as one of your normal active module buttons (eg like your guns) and would have a drone icon. The button would allow drones to be used like any other weapon.

Obviously the button commands the drones to do their default action. Combat drones attack, salvagers salvage etc.; just like pressing the F key.

Much like you can create multiple groups of drones, you could create multiple buttons. This would allow you to create a button for lights, mediums, heavies etc.

The process would be:
Select drones in drone window
Right click and 'Assign button' (maybe type a name that's layered on top of button)
Icon now shows up
