I've re-assigned 'tag 1, tag 2, tag 3' from 1,2,3 to drones, attack, recall/orbit, recall/dock. Just need one for launch lol. Don't think right click-> Launch group is too bad though... Yes, I fly carriers and drone boats.

The NPE IS a big deal

you can use radial menu too on dronbay, but hot key more comfortable.

Uhm... how many hotkey do you want? 10? 20? My drone boats have 6 groups of drones, my carriers 15+. Where is the point in that many hotkeys, or only 5 and I cannot launch all groups with a separate hotkey? Drone hotkeys for launching them are utterly pointless.

Hmm, what is the point of hotkeys? Could it be perhaps to *gasp* launch the drones without having to use your mouse?

I for one do most of my combat with hotkeys not with mouse clicks. But I guess this feature would be useless, since you know, YOU don't have a use for it.

That is nice for you; but you are not the norm. Some people can handle shortcuts better, others handle mouse navigation better. But regardless: if you have to hack in a 4 or 5 keys long shortcuts to launch drone groups, things will get messy.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
