I wouldn't mind if my drones flashed a little once they're under attack much like players do in the watchlist when under aggression. Would be a handy little feature.

me too +1

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Also, the possibility of maybe a Sub-watchlist that drones can be added to. As sentry ships become more popular, having the ability to watchlist drones as a logi pilot in small gangs would become quite an effective tool.

Make it happen!

I don't use drones that often, but when I do, its annoying to loose them because you missed the two-second-window to recall them

The little bar graphs that start accumulating red isn't enough of an indicator?

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Taking damage does not equal being targeted which also doesn't equal being aggressed.

+1 a good suggestion. Especially for ships where drones are the primary weapon, it would be good to have a better visual cue that they're in trouble.

No, it's not. By the time you notice a drop in shields, Curators and Gardes (or any light drone) is already deep in shields. By that logic, why does the Watchlist with players in it need to flash? Isn't the "little bar graphs that start accumulating red isn't enough of an indicator" there as well? Roll
