Never mind, I found out you apparently need at least one shuttle in bay to get access to the drones, (not very intuitive), I had all my shuttles out waiting for the drones. I now realized that it takes hours for them to fill anyway.

I searched the boards for "drone storage", but only found 1 unrelated topic. According to the manual for bcmg chapter 7.21 bottom page 147, you are supposed to be able to monitor the drones storage level while mining through the tactical computer. When I press the "tactical" button on he tacops screen I get a window with 4 buttons at the bottom "crew launch loadout medbay". Assuming it would be in loadout, I click that one and select SC, however it tells me (quite right) that the shuttle is not in the bay when I select drone. Is there a hidden menu somewhere with the information stating if the drone is full or not? When I target the drone in the tacops view, I get no information either. Please help a poor noob.

Apparently CTRL+ALT+C has been tied to some function in win2K, since it minimizes the game (in most cases crashing it) and brings forth the desktop. Being able to request new missions is a pretty important function! Is there any other way to issue this command through the menus or can I tie the command to a different key sequence?
