Player Features and Ideas Discussion

We have been wanting a quick way to manage our drone groups for some time, but I dont think that radial menus will do the trick.
My idea is to drag a drone group to one of the module activation buttons, then via right click, assign what command would be given to that group with a click of that icon.
For example: Drag group "Hobgoblins" to the icon next to my blasters. Right click > attack. Then off to the side, I drag the group to 2 other buttons, and assign command to launch, and return to drone bay.
This way when a fight starts, I hit the launch button instead of navigating the menus, then hit the attack button the same as I would my guns. Once combat is over or I need to go to warp, I just slam the return to bay button. This streamlines the process, and allows us to better and more swiftly utilize our drone configurations.

My radial menu wants to ask you what its "deploy drones" option is if not a launch button.

Also, just a simple bland "Launch Drones" button fails to address the issue of "What if you have more than five drones, or what if you have multiple groups?"

Key binding for groups would be nice.
But then you can simply drag the group from the drones window into space and out they go. Not as good as a key binding but for now it will have to work.

Am I missing something? The 'f' key makes whichever drones I have deployed 'engage' in whatever there task is against the currently highlighted target.works for salvagers, miners and combat drones so far.
