I had an epiphany last night when I was in a larger fleet with many wings and squads.
We have this hierarchy with a fleet, wing and quad command and I think we could splurge a tad of love on this. The fleet commander may or may not be a titan with links or whatnot and broadcasts a target for example.
Now here is where my proposal comes in.
In order to keep your wings doing what they are supposed to, we should let the squad commanders broadcast only be seen by this squad. Let's have your fleet have a logi squad and your squad commander broadcasts for reps or he has a priority target the need reps but is not in the fleet or whatever.
Currently what is happening is that all fleet members, no matter what wing they are in get the command to rep x boat. This is fine for your logi squad but your dreadnought wing will have a hard time putting reps on someone and it clutters their target broadcast up with rep requests or targets.
If your squad could only see the requests in the squad, the damage wing could focus on their order of things and keep shootin- eeek, not this one.
Now the tricky part would be that your logi wing will see all rep requests from all wings and squad members but not the "kill dat boat and then dat other boat" requests. And that your wing commander doesn't warp of the ewar wing but only his squad commander can warp his squad and noone else and the logi wing are the only one getting the "align there" command or "warp to this ping" broadcasts.
I hope this makes sense.
Eve Minions is recruiting. Learn from about pvp, learn about ships and how to fly them correctly. Small gang and solo action in high, low and nullsec and w-space alike.

Eh maybe, we kind of already have the tools to do this, albeit not all of them are in game mechanics. It'd be a neat feature, but you could use different comms channels, in game channels, and watchlists to coordinate, all of which I've seen done before. |

You can also disable broadcasts not relevant to you manually. I don't think this would fix much of anything, since the FC is going to be broadcasting targets to the entire fleet and the guy who needs shields would have to be your squad commander to only bother the logi.
I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

This sounds totally messed up. Especially the part where a wing commander cannot warp his entire wing (if I understood that correctly).

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
