So right now we have a pretty terrible system for finding out who needs armour/etc when flying in a Remote Rep gangs. For a small gang of ships (5-10) It works fine, but as soon as you start going over that you run into two big problems:
1- Watch List can't support more than 10 people 2- Broadcasts being flooded, and being too hard to tell how long ago a broadcast was made
Well, I figured the 10 people max. had something to do with the server struggling to keep track of the hitpoint status of a whole fleet, but that's no reason to leave it in the nerfed state it is atm.
I propose that changes are made so that when you broadcast, you are automatically added to the watch list of everyone in the wing/fleet , all depending on fleet settings of course. If you have 10 people in the watch list already, the oldest person would get removed to make space for a new one.
This would make staying on top of broadcasts much easier, and help Battleship Gangs massively - particually when fighting without cap support (ie: in a hostile cynojammed system, especially when trying to disable the Jammer itself)
Um, that's it. Do point out anything I missed

Watch lists are also used for cov-ops pilots giving wp in's, logistics pilts/carrier pilots spider tanking and cap transfer, probably a lot of other things too that people need to keep an eye on.
Although I do think the system can be messy with a lot of broadcasts, that can be managed with good pilot/fleet discipline.
Not supported.

Well you'd be able to change the settings on it as need be. It's just an idea - not quite refined yet. Yes, you would need to be able to 'lock' people on watch list if you didn't want them disappearing, but keep all unlocked spots for broadcasts.
As for fleet discipline - I see what you're saying: A good FC and good piloting should be rewarded, but when you have, for instance, 25 battleships at a hostile cynojammer and half of them are taking heavy damage from both POS guns and enemy support/carriers the current watch list/broadcasts system simply does not work. |

if there was maybe a toggle button, add armour/shield calls to watch list, so that logistics pilots could have the latest callers pop up in the list? That wouldnt affect the watch list for other functions. |

i would more prefer the ability to setup watchlist tabs.
just as you can broadcast multiple things, you should be able to have a tab that only displays certain broadcasts.
and to help limit lag you should be able to turn off loading the fleet members shield/armor/hull status and just have their name listed in the watch list so you dont have to scroll through a laggy fleet menu to find a needle in the haystack.
i like some of the idea, but i cant fully support it because of it auto adding something i would prefer to manage manually ---- People Say Im paranoid because I have a gun, I say I dont have to be paranoid because I have a gun.
