ETA when will we get to test the new drone UI and fixes to drone mechanics, especially sentries?

I don't think any of that is planned?

Probably 2016 at the earliest

Sentries are one of the few things that work, I hope they don't touch them, as they'll just make them as non optimal as the rest.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Yep, that looks like a reasonable expectation, or at least how I interpret "high priority" of CCP. Sad

I also want to mention here that while the drone system overall needs looking at, we here on the balance team have some short term ideas for helping the usability of sentry drones – no timeframe on them as of yet, but its something we have in mind.

Vague noncommittal answers that they're "aware of it" means at least 5 years before they touch it in CCP speak. Don't hold your breath.
