With kind permission of Marlona I would like to group his idea along with a few others into this proposal aimed at making fleets more enjoyable and improving battlefield logistics.
1) Watch list
a. The maximum number of people on a watch list currently is 10. This is often insufficient, and unless there are profound technical reasons not to, I would like to see this increased to 20 at least.
b. I would like to be able to see, other than the persons name and HP stats, the persons ship type on the watch list. This will greatly help in selecting priorities for logistics pilots. A dictor in half shield may well be in dire trouble - a hictor in half shield might hardly be a concern.
c. The only way to add someone to watch list is to right-click their name, --> fleet, --> add to watchlist. This can be confusing because there are a whole lot of options in both menus, and I would like to see this simplified in some way.
2) Broadcasts
a. The buttons for broadcasting in the new fleet window are way too small. Make them 2x the current size.
b. I would like to see a new position in fleets, dubbed 'targetcaller'. This would be a role that anyone can fill regardless of where they are in the fleet and there should be a maximum of, say, 3 to 5. The target caller position entails that this person, once he selects a target off his overview, gets a single-click option to broadcast this target. He has a small menu where he can see the entire fleet build-up by wing and squad, and he can select with tickboxes which individual squads receive his broadcasts. This would greatly help in picking different targets for battleships and support fleets and generally make fleets more enjoyable and less messy on comms.

I support this but I would also like to see an option for audio notifications of broadcasts since they can be easy to miss.

I guess the watch list is restricted to 10 due to lag prevention.
I do however support this idea :)

Give us also seperate broadcast buttons/history window back. Now i am constantly resizing the fleet window since i dont need large window for watching broadcasts, but when i want to use fleet finder or see fleet composition (for example when flying logistics and i want to add dictor squad to watch list) i want a much larger window.

Pls yes!
I fly logitstic ships daily, and current setup is just too annoying to use.. Try loggin on and try to make a watchlist while a fight is going at for example your home station... Not gonna happen with current system!

It also would be nice to be able to split all that fleet stuff apart. Having broadcast buttons, history, fleet composition. etc. all grouped in one window really cramps my style.

Supported.
Also: when trying to lock a target via right-clicking a "Target X" broadcast, if the target is eg. not in range (or you are unable to target it for some other reason, like being inside a POS forcefield) the object in question is not selected at all. This means that broadcasts cannot be used to umabiguously identify targets for everyone.
For consistency and ease of use it would seem preferable to make the object selected before trying to lock it, so that approach etc can be used even if the locking fails for some reason.

This change is urgently required.
Would also be VERY helpful to have some kind of tag column in the watch list, even if something as basic as a choice between eg: "FC" "Scout" "Squad" "Logistics" "Other". Or even just A/B/C/D/E.
Max of 10 per tag would be just fine tyvm if that is necessary.

a. The maximum number of people on a watch list currently is 10. This is often insufficient, and unless there are profound technical reasons not to, I would like to see this increased to 20 at least.
b. I would like to be able to see, other than the persons name and HP stats, the persons ship type on the watch list. This will greatly help in selecting priorities for logistics pilots. A dictor in half shield may well be in dire trouble - a hictor in half shield might hardly be a concern.
c. The only way to add someone to watch list is to right-click their name, --> fleet, --> add to watchlist. This can be confusing because there are a whole lot of options in both menus, and I would like to see this simplified in some way.
2) Broadcasts I would like to see a new position in fleets, dubbed 'targetcaller'. This would be a role that anyone can fill regardless of where they are in the fleet and there should be a maximum of, say, 3 to 5. The target caller position entails that this person, once he selects a target off his overview, gets a single-click option to broadcast this target.

This would greatly help in picking different targets for battleships and support fleets and generally make fleets more enjoyable and less messy on comms.
Yes, having a bigger watch list would be nice.
As for the broadcasts, CCP first needs to fix the broadcasted target icons so that they actually clear off your overview when the target is dead. As a person who uses the broadcasted target option quite a bit, it's annoying as hell to see your overview littered with those s1, s2, s3 bullseyes stuck to crap like planets, gates, etc because they don't clear off properly.
Once the overview bugs are fixed, then implement the broadcast target portion.
