I'm not sold on the overview locking on mouse-over. 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.  |

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'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. |

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 is my point exactly, you now can't hold your mouse over the overview and expect it to update, where as before you could quickly toggle the lock button on and off and force the overview to pause when you wanted, and update normally when you wanted. |
