The problem is that I am frequently flying protection and my gangmates are mining... when rats spawn they seem to go right after the more fragile ships and not after my heavily fortified gun boat... why? lol. I always here... hes comin' right for me... oh god... help... my shields are putty. But I have no wayto target the baddy thats targeting the gang member unless I wait and draw the conclusion by watching the fight visually.
Is there anyway to sync targets or pass targets to gang members... or maybe right click attack team members primary target...

If your flying protection you should aggro the rats as soon as they spawn, that should get them to focus on you, you shouldn't give them a chance to target any of the miners. If they start targeting a gang-mate they should be able to see that clearly (yellow brackets) and shout out in gang chat.

Could you use target jammers to prevent them from locking on to anyone?

Simple. If you can tank them forever (not shooting), just sit at the belt. Wait for them to aggro you, then move the miners in. They'll never retarget unless you leave.

I think there are modules that allow you to transfer shields to an ally.
Get one of those and throw it on a gangy getting attacked and you would be tanking for them.

As the ^^ poster suggested, you can get "shield transfer arrays" that will allow you to transfer your shield to a gangmate in effect tanking for your gangmate's shield for him/her. This is usually how our gang rolls in lvl IV's. We use a 'mothership' (not a real one of course  ) to tank shields and capacitor for us. He just warps in his ferox after everyone has been agro'd and begins helping the people that are taking the most beating. It works phenomenally.
In the future it would be nice if you told us what type of ships your gangmates are using, as that makes a helluva difference. If they are mining with Ospreys, they can have enough power left to mount an assault launcher. Also, if the ships have drone capabilities, be sure to use that asset as it can be a very valuable one. You'd be suprised at how fast 5-10 lil' dronies can take out rats.
Side note: I'll bet you a million ISK that in 2 weeks you will say to yourself... "lol, one of my missiles takes out those rats from 40km now!" And your gangmates will say, "man.... with some skills, I can tank rats all day long and just let my drones take care of them!"
Good luck in EVE!

as kaladr said. the best way to mine is to find the spawn and tank it. however i have heard it can be trickey with guristas rat¦s since they tend to jamm now days |

If your tanking them what does it matter if they jam you? Your not shooting back.
Unless you want the bounties and are fast enough to shoot them before they target the miners then the best way is to tank them if you can.

Well im not worried about tanking them cause i can kill them easy and its free money etc...
The real question is .... ok say your in pvp or a fleet battle 5 ships closing fast... the leader calls a target and you lock it and attack... is there a way to do this through modules... where you target what your leader targets ... or what? for those of you that have played any other mmo im asking if theres anything that remotely resembles the /assist function which is considered a basic function of gameplay for most games.
