Another absolutely stunning performance and usability upgrade from this crew. Even the required change to the overview lock mechanism has been noticed and altered to match it with new improved refresh speed. This shows that you people have actually tested the stuff you code and want to deliver something to be proud of. Plenty of respect and big thanks to entire team. Special thanks about the window optimizations. Those were really really welcome.

I think it will end up getting in the way more than it comes in handy, especially when FC's are broadcasting targets, which normally will jump to the top, but now won't change as your mouse is already hovering over the overview (waiting for the broadcast to come up, of course). It might be a good idea to make this a setting that can be disabled. You can target broadcasted targets from broadcast history.... It is rather important that with improved refresh speed overview does lock before hitting the button to prevent miss-clicks and make browsing the target easier.
I do however agree that lock while hovering over with mouse has some disadvantages - but after the update - it is still better than not locking at all and definitely still faster than with old overview's refresh speed.

I do however agree that lock while hovering over with mouse has some disadvantages - but after the update - it is still better than not locking at all and definitely still faster than with old overview's refresh speed. I'm well aware you can lock directly from the broadcast window, however the broadcast window often lags in heavy fighting, sometimes broadcasts even get lost if the FC is calling too fast (donno if this is a bug or intentional throttling), at times it's a lot faster to search the overview as the name is called over comms than it is to wait for the broadcast to come through.
Yep... and at least I feel that certain name from static list is faster than searching it from list which is bouncing up and down.
Only major downside I see here is that you can't keep your mouse cursor on top of the overview all the time any more. This mainly comes to question when waiting someone to appear from cloak. These "new" targets are something that might need second look. In other words... should new targets keep appearing to end of the list while overview is in "locked" state to keep information accurate. In yet other words... should overview lock "lock" only the sorting but keep actual target information update active? Would this be even possible?
edit: NM, apparently it is working just like this already so... there clearly shouldn't be any problem.
