Post /Minimum Energy 1000
A command that sets a minimum limit to the amount of bank used for drone charging or any charging for that matter. Sometimes I am in situations where I am charging 3 or 4 different drone types and want to tractor something for a second or use a tweak and am not able due to total bank drain.

Definitely agreed. In general, we need much more control over how our energy sinks are managed.

Would be cool to have an interactive box with limits. Kind of like updating prices on stuff.

I feel like this would be over-complicating things. If you want to stop your drones from sucking all your energy, then you can just unequip them. I mean, the whole system was designed to give you total control over what is taking energy and what isn't.

It is far from over-complicating things. It is just like the lovely command "Keep minimum" for trade goods in user bays. I think a feature like this would be amazing.

Droner already requires much more micromanagement than most classes. Before drone charging, you could at least make the simple decision of deploying or not deploying a drone on the basis of how much energy you currently had. Now, you're faced with two options:

1) Spam Alt+numbers immediately after scooping drones (perhaps multiple kinds) to avoid draining your bank.
2) Choose not to deploy a drone minutes in advance in order to avoid that whole situation.

Why shouldn't players be able to configure their elec sinks?

Certain suggestions should be moved to the accepted and next patch area :)

You have it entirely backwards. As Enk pointed out, it is actually more difficult now.

The suggestion is good.
