New Control Request - Coward Drones

[steelstiletto]

This might seem like an odd request, but could a control option be added to make drones count as non-military ships when doing group selections? In a few of my games, I end up getting multiple types of drone spawning ships and want to be able to move and position them easily without also selecting all of the drones and messing with their damage output. The target selection for drones is fine, all I want to manage is a bit of the positioning of the expensive ships, but quickly getting the correct types using the buttons on the right side isn't actually very quick at all for me.

I second this notion - constantly wind up selecting drones by mistake.  Since I use group move, this ends up messing up all kinds of things...

Thirded, I found myself wanting this feature several times before.

While this feature may be useful to me.

I often work around this problem by put almost all "mobile" fleet/starship under one group and neinzul's carrier drones will not be add to this group. So you can freely move your carriers around without picking up drones by accident.

If you need a little more finesse you can always pause and give individual ships order by clicking on the icon on the right. Say for example, you need something take out asap under a shield so you click on devastator starships or raid starships icon on the right side to give them the order order.

Coward assault transports would be cool too.

I actually never use control groups in AI War. This would still be usefull.

That'd be nice. Also would be nice if there was a way to select MCDs without accidentally selecting neinzul.
