Two things I'd love to see:

1. Drone damage visible for drones in bay

It is tiresome to have to move damaged drones into a "Damaged" group to avoid relaunching them after retrieval.


2. Open/shut state of drone groups remembered separately for drones in bay and in space

I normally like drone groups to be open in space, and closed in the bay. Having to keep clicking to get this right is a pain.


A couple more things that would be great:

3. Remember the drone groups on the server, not the client.

For those of us who use more than one computer, it's a pain to have to reset all groups when you move to a new machine.


4. Flash the drones info when they are receiving damage, just like the watch window.
No explanation necessary. Smile

EDIT: A suggestion I'm not so sure about would be to split the hotkeys for logistic and combat drones. "Engage" simply doesn't work when you have a logistic drone out with your combat set. Perhaps not so relevent to PvP, but for PvE I sometimes tune things to the limit.

Comments, anyone?

Some useful points.

However wrong forum, needs to go into the Assembly Hall as a valid proposal. Where it will likley spend the rest of its days in a CSM graveyard due to the majority of suggestions in there being held in a never ending backlog of inconsequential player suggestions some of the CSM simply ignores.

I don't go there often. The Assembly Hall has the odd good idea in it, but I think it should be merged with 'Features and Ideas'. The AH subforum is a relic of the first couple of CSMs when the CSM was considered a parliamentary organization rather than an advocacy group, and it deludes the players who go to the AH with the false hope that the CSM is like a 'space congress' where votes on proposals result in game changes being 'passed'. The CSM isn't parliamentary at all, which is why years worth of upvoted AH proposals rot on a backlog, ignored by CCP

Thanks for the positive feedback. I agree with your wrong forum suggestion: I was planning to put it into the AH soon, but thought I'd gather comments and input first, in the hope that people can improve on the proposal.

Give me some "like", Grumpy. :-)
