Simple comfort tweak. Just add an extra optional column that counts all objects in the overview from 1 to the sum of all objects. The numbers aren't attached to any object and are in a fix order, so all the calculating can be done on the client side.
# Name 1 Dummy1 2 Dummy2 3 Dummy3
with a new object in the overview:
# Name 1 Dummy1 2 Dummy2 3 Dummy3 4 Dummy4
or
# Name 1 Dummy4 2 Dummy3 3 Dummy2 4 Dummy1
Advantages: - Easier fleet surveillance/reconnaissance because you don't have to count blue/red dots or ship types in your constantly changing overview or your scanner.
- Fast composition check on asteroid belts. No more asteroid counting to check out which belt is the juiciest.
- You can sort by corp/alliance, check the battle participants numbers and make a great post in a public forum about Blobs and NAPs with accurate numbers before the battle, without waiting for kill board data.
- BONUS Easier target calling. You can sync all overviews by sorting by name and then call the number instead of the name. So it'll be "Primary #12" instead of "Primary zchruf30" "What? Repeat please." "Shoot zchruf30 in an apoc" "What? Spell it please" "z-c-h-r-u-f-3-0". Helps with bad accents, because almost everybody can pronounce a number in English.
Disadvantages: Non I could think of. Well, except for the work needed to implement it.
--------------------------------------------- To sum it up, counting stuff gets easier. Doesn't change any game mechanics or the game-play, because people are already counting (and target calling), but it'd be less annoying and optional.

Obviously a very good idea... and since such a column can probably easily be made user toggleable, won't bother those who don't need to count accurate numbers when scouting a 300-man hostile fleet...

a counter suggestion: stop blobbing? then you wouldnt need to count fleets of 300 enemies.
