DRONE OPS - PART 1; Initial

If you loaded your drones at the station into your drone bay, you'll see this menu choice below 'overview'...if you don't see this then you don't have any drones. period; Left click to expand drone menu

DRONE OPS - PART 2; Opening Bay

You now see the two submenu folders that contain 'docked' and 'launched' drones.

DRONE OPS - PART 3; New Group

Here you see a bunch of ungrouped drones. You hold down either the shift or the ctrl key and left click each drone till all are selected, then right click and choose 'move drone' and 'new group...' You'll notice i have a combat group already set up because i already created that group before i made this tutorial.
