UI needed for non hanger combat pets

With the Elachi Sheshar I can summon in the two Monbosh support craft and obviously the Sheshar assault craft, thats 3 extra combat pets on top of what ever you're launching from the hanger.
It's impossible to keep track of these pets health and status during intense combat. They could be sitting dead in the water for a long time before I realise they're out of action. Other times I can't even find them and recall them on the assumption they're dead somewhere.
With a long 2min cooldown there's a lot of time that can be wasted by these pets by not actually contributing to the fight nor actively counting down to next launch.
I'm sure people flying the Fed Dread with saucer sep have the same issue. We really need a UI element that acts like the hanger bay one does so we can better operate with these pets. It doesn't have to have hanger commands for them (though that would be nice) it's more so we can see distance and health status.
Another thing that would be nice is if when killed the pet simply returns/despawns automatically to kick off the cool down timer for it automatically without you needing to realise it needs to be done.

Overall however, I support the idea, it'd be a huge help to the remaining Prommie pilots in the game.
Was great taking on the mirror universe during the mirror invasion, while the rest of the armor and crew would hang out in the saucer patrolling in and out of range, occasionally firing a beam or tractor to strike fear in them and raise our morale...
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Yeah...I like this and I'd prefer it...flying a Sheshar with both deployment consoles would be so much more UI clutter and this idea is so much better.
it's only been asked for since the first ship with non hangar pets (MVAM IIRC)
