Would it be possible to add the range to pilots that you've added to your watch list? Obviously this would only be when you are on grid with them, much like how you can see their shield / armor / hull status at the moment.
This would be incredibly useful in many situations such as not straying too far from logis, etc.
Since you are already in fleet with people in your watch list and the range infomation is already available via the overview I can't think of any reason why this shouldn't be implemented - any ideas?

i would rather see the watchlist intelligently integrated into the overview, with like "sticky entries" and health bars. |

I believe you are referring to the Contacts watch list, which pops up a notification when someone is online. The OP is referring to the Fleet watch list, which pops up a window showing the shield/armor/structure status of select fleet members on grid. Having distance from fleet member in the fleet watch list would be very helpful for scimis/recons. Sure, it shows distance in your fleet overview, but that can sometimes be hundreds of players. Very time consuming to scan through that many players to make sure you are x distance from your support. |

I like this idea best, but it would probably be quite a lot of work so range on watchlist would be a useful stopgap. |

+1 for this, it would definitely be helpful for Logis and RR fleets. |

My position is that Locked Targets, Overview, Dirscan, Local (specifically it's intel usage), and Probing results should be a unified interface.
I realize that task alone is enough effort to be the flagship of an entire expansion, and I believe it deserves it.
However range on watchlist might actually make it into the Winter Expansion.

Oh yes, yes, I thought about something like this myself a couple of times. i don't know about local, but definitely put the fleet broadcast window on your list. (: |

It would be nice to get a response on this from CCP to see if they are aware of the idea 
However, in the mean time it seems as if there are a couple of other watch list improvements that have been proposed.
Discussed in CSM (Link):
- More than 10 pilots (has this already been implemented?)
- Add ship type
Another thread (Link):

What with all the great changes / fixes going on atm, would it be possible for this to be included in the near future? |

We are currently looking at whether we can add some simple usability features to the watch list soonish and yes, range is on the list (no promises though as usual). |

Basically, stuff that we can do within the limited scope that we have is "show things that are available to your client" which is things that you can see on grid. So showing ships that are in warp or in a station or being shot at somewhere else is not possible, but showing distance to ships in your bubble, type of ship in your bubble, etc. is possible. |

Add the functionality of drag and drop to the watchlist, so you can easily change the order without having to clear everyone out of it. (Hint: Use your code library and copy it from waypoint manager in the autopilot  )
Then if you got time over:
Make it possible to select multiple people in the watchlist (either CTRL+A or SHIFT+CLICK or whatever way you find that is intuitive and suitable) and make it so these selected people can be locked....for example when you have selected the people and hold CTRL and click on one of the selected people it locks all the selected people or something like that to make locking everyone an experience that has less hassle associated with it. |

First off, thank you for your reply - it's good to know that you guys are actually considering this :)

I take it by bubble you mean grid? |

Not sure if this was posted, but allow us to reorganize the sequence pilots are in the watch list, ie drag & drop like the target locks you guys recently implemented. Some of us like to group our watch list people by what they're in (and when someone dc's you have to rebuild the list to get them back in top / second position ,etc). |

i would like to be able to move pilots in the watch list (up/down), and maybe drag and drop them from the overview
to be able to see their range (like 100km tackle asking for reps :))) would be an added bonus as well

Capacitor status would be very useful to see as well, but of course that's not part of info available to another pilot's UI at present, so it's probably more difficult. |

I think you could add more info to the watchlist than just range. Mkae it like a mini, highly customizable, overview.
Hell, you could even add enemies (offgrid or not, in system only requirement) that ungrey when they come on grid (and not cloaked) |

Don't do it! Making it easy for noobs to see if they're getting separated from the herd will only result in less drama. The weak and stupid were supposed to be eaten... remember? There is a coming of age as a fleet pilot that we've all been through and paying attention to details is part of that!
There SHOULD be a certain amount of task-loading involved in flying in a fleet.... it's not just the FC who should be doing all the thinking! If you implement the auto "tell-me-if-I'm-lunch" warning then you'll be doing exactly what should not be done!
I mean... if you're going to do that when why don't you implement a tag for "anchor" and let them just turn on their autopilot and orbit the anchor... maybe it should even turn on their mwd if they're too far away and align to a random celestial if they're getting yellow-boxed by the whole other fleet?
Sheesh. This is EVE online. Don't take away the pride involved in mastering it! Why else would we be playing this game instead of sticking our thumb up our proverbial you-know-what and wishing we were "real" gamers!

Capacitor status of another person's ship is easily determined using the correct module (ship scanner). Being able to see this without needing to utilize a midslot for the module seems entirely overpowered.

yes, since your always looking at your fleet mates cap, and not your enemies? |
