Drone UI "improvements"

We allready have the option, to group several drones (I name them "light therm", "med explo" or "heavy em" for example).

Is it posible, to link this groups with button which we can pull to the slot-bars where our weapons are?

Just as example a posible Geddon inspace bar would look like:
- F1 := 7 grouped laser on / off
- F2 := drone group attack / passive (with activation indicator like cycletime for laser)
- F3 := large repair on / off
- F4 := drone group back to dronebay
- F5 := drone group 1 launch drones (to launch group "heavy em" as example)
- F6 := drone group 2 launch drones (to launch group "med explo" as example)
- F7 := drone group 3 launch drones (to launch group "ligh therm" as example)

I know that I allready can assigne keys for my drones.
But clickeble icons at this allready assigned keys (F1-F8) would be realy cool :).

And to top it ... short names on the buttons like DG1, DG2, .. but this might be to much *g*.

Why the hell can't I fitt capital repairs or shield booster on an Orca ... it's an CAPITAL ship!
