So I have been flying logi lately and I have a tiny OCD thing and I'll just ask the logi pilots of you what you would think if your watchlist would be cleared too when you clear your broadcast history, so you don't have everyone in need of armor or cap or whatever and you can see those nice health icons coming up again when they are needed?

'Meh.'
I never use those little icons personally, either because x number of dudes aren't on the 15 manz watchlist or just because I pull straight out of the broadcast history

I do too, I just noticed that those icons never go away and when you only fly with a small group and you have everyone on your wachtlist, it gets distracting after a while.
Must be an OCD thing.

'It would be nice, but I've gotten used to it so don't really notice anymore' category, I think. If they could be synced, sure.

you shouldn't be using the WL to see that **** you should be locking from your BH. the WL should only be used as a back up in case a vital ship screws up and forgets to broad.

WL doesn't start indicating anything until after they've already started taking damage. Alert pilots hit their broadcast as soon as they're yellow boxed, which is before they start taking damage. |

not only that but there is a good deal of lag in the WL it wont show damage or a broadcast for some times up to 3 seconds

What, remove the people I am supposed to be keeping a special eye on from the watchlist every time I clear broadcast history?

that's what i thought at first too you need to train reading comp to V then you need advanced comp to at least III you see OP doesn't have writing coherence trained so its a bit tough.
what op wants is when you clear broad cast history he also wants the broadcast icons cleared from the WL

No, hell no. What I mean is the icons next to the three important (well it's four but I can only do so much) bars on the watchlist.
Anything else would be unwise. I also like to have my mates pre-locked as soon as we land, so I can apply reps without having to wait for broadcasts.
When the fight is over and you go back and clear the last broadcasts of your history the icons are still there and you may notice someone on your watchlist is calling (did call earlier) for reps that have been applied by that time.
So a very simple "clear history" removes the "need reps here right now" icon, not your buddies.

Why would you assume one of them just called for reps? You should be able to tell by looking at your broadcast history. If anything they should just remove the icons from the wl probably be easier on ccps end anyway

I would be happy with that.
The reason I would assume this is that the icon is still there and with the way I arranged my UI windows and the watchlist, which is close to my d-scan, I see an icon that I noticed earlier but would assume would go away at some point.
While listening to my alliance members and rep-kiting my fleet mates, things get overlooked and on the way back I can pay more attention to UI icons.
I am sorry to bother you with this and you may only understand if you have OCD (because that one pixel that has the wrong color and drives you sleepless and nuts..)

I'll give a counter point. If you're in a small gang of 14 ships, but only 7 pilots all dual boxing - the WL is the only way the guy dual boxing the logi ships is going to get things done. The other 4 dual boxers just don't normally have the time to broadcast while fighting 2 ships.
In this case the logi pilots normally work in complete silence (comms and broadcast history) while the other 6 guys talk over each other in semi coherent chaos.
Just pointing out there are several correct ways to do the logi stuff. What works for 100 dude fleets (your way) may not be optimal for all fleets.
The WL gets used quite a bit in PVE fleets also. I'm not sure how exactly, but I think the incursions ninnies have some overly complex way of organizing logistics.

Thank you Serendipity!
And sometimes you have to leave the room and come back after a couple of minutes and you see the rep broadcast and a "enemy spotted" broadcast, run to your desk, stumble over your furniture and somehow manage to glimps on your fleet members, only to see they are all save and sound and you think to yourself, hey that's confusing.

If I cleared my broadcast history, I'd want my watchlist to stay. There should just be a hotkey to clear watchlist, then you can press both hotkeys at once to save time.

See, I don't want my watchlist cleared, only the broadcast icons in front of the bars.

I don't much care either way since I don't clear my broadcast history (ever) but if I did clear it and the icons disappeared, if anything that would make sense. I certainly wouldn't be cut up about it.

But when you are using the WL for that they are not broadcasting and if they are you have the history. Your point is irrelevant

I clear the icons manually every now and then, usually between fights.
BH gets most of my attention during a fight, though I do keep an eye on the watchlist for anyone key that is being shot, so I can lock them and take action. But I don't really notice the icons during a fight. |

Yeah as it should. It is just one of the things I notice when we are free-burning and pay attention to the d-scan again.
The broadcast history is a blessing in hectic situations when you have more fleet members than you can lock.

My example my be irrelevant, but my point (there are several ways to do the logi stuff) is not. The example (which I still feel is relevant as it's just an example) is just there to put into context that there are other PVP MOs besides the 100+ blob things. The OP is kind of based on 100+ fleet operations. I don't do the logi thing often, so I didn't actually weigh in on the merits of the idea, just put some alternatives out there for the discussion.
Lugh - I really think you're just upset that I called out your crappy looking beard. Not so much that I called it out, but more because (deep down) you know it's a crappy beard. |

Not quite. The watchlist shows up 15 fleet members and get to 10. I am more of a small gang kinda gal and my Kirin(s) do serve me well. Anything more that 15 would get too confusing for myself.

This hasn't been my experience--I've noted them to disappear after about 30 seconds or so. I'll admit, however, that I haven't been in a proper fleet for about a year, so perhaps it has changed between then and now?

Reaver, you can hop on SiSi and ask someone to fleet you and do a broadcast. Then clear the broadcast history and see the icons stay or ask a corp member.

Apparently they've got a thing going on now in which pilots who are no longer being shot at use a different kind of broadcast to clear the old one. They shouldn't have to do that just to prevent the entire fleet from acquiring a rep broadcast icon on the logi watchlist.

We just stop repping the last ship when the next one starts getting hit. It doesn't matter if the icon disappears in 5 seconds or 5 minutes, as long as it goes away so we can actually use the watchlist for its intended purpose--which is basically to assist FCs and logi.
If they have to send a broadcast to get rid of the old broadcast, that fills the broadcast history with spam. We wouldn't need to clear broadcast history if we didn't have to spam it with cover broadcasts.
