Hi,
You will find below 2 small improvements for Target icon :

1- Add in the contextual menu of the icon of the target (Right mouse click on the target icon) the new command "Engage drone".
- In the contextual menu, the command "Engage drone" is available only when drones are in space.
- The command will react differently depending on the type of drones.
Examples :
For combat drone the command "Engage drone" attack the target.
For salvage drone the command "Engage drone" salvage the target
For Shield maintenance drone the command "Engage drone" send drones to the target and repair the shield
etc....
-The command "Engage drone" runs the most frequently used command (See the example above). All the other commands available for a type of drone remain available in the windows "Drones". There is no change need in "Drones" windows.

Reason : This change will limit the movement of the mouse and will be much faster to send drones to the target .

2- Command "Tag item" : Add the "tag" (letter or number) in the text description below the icon of the target.
- The tag will be written to the left of the name of the pilot and it will be followed by a dash " - ".

Example with the tag number "1" :
1- Eleanor Malle (UC)
Enyo
2556 m

Reason : Lets see the tag on the icon of the target

+1 for the first suggestion "Engage target" command in the target menu.

+1 for the second suggestion, but with this change :

For the second suggestion I prefer to put the tag in parentheses
Example with the tag #1 in parentheses :
(1) Eleanor Malle (UC)
Enyo
2556 m
