We all hate having to right click drop down boxes just to launch a primary weapon system right?

Really a simple change, let us launch drones with a keyboard button press short-cut!

What if you have four different kinds of drones?

It is going to be done, just wait.

That's what the group drones are for

CCP wish list: show damage on ships and open that door!

allow groups of drones to be dragged down to the empty module slots, that would be great

I used to remap my drone launch keys, had my drones grouped, and when I launched it would use the last group I had out. I've been out of the game for awhile though so that might have changed.

+1 for drone launch hotkeys.

I say make hotkeys assignable.

Alternatively, just make 1 or 2 and have them alphabetically accessible. Change your drone group names to match.

My hope is that drone groups can be assigned to module keys. They are working on the other functions already.
