One thing that i would find useful for people new to fleetOP's or just in systems where you aren't to familiar with, is a possibility to right click on a stellar object and choose align.
It's damn annoying when the FC calls a "align to gate xxx", and just because you have trouble finding the align point you get left behind in a fleetwarp and slows everyone down. |

There's a new selected item button in Empyrian Age(sp?) which allows you to align to any far away object.

Apparently "God" understands that some folks have difficulty double clicking in the vague direction of a highlighted celestial.

For myself, I would say that the issue isn't in being able to align to the object, it is actually *finding* the object in the first place when so much of the screen is covered by fleet/corp chat channels, overview, selected item, drones, fleet structure, fleet messages, etc. I'll often find that there is previous little "view of space" left in some (usually PvP0 situations so the new feature will make things a little easier.

There is already a right-click option for fleet broadcasts "Align to .." that enables members of the fleet. What is really needed is an option in the UI to say "Align to object", since the fleet system already allows the broadcast.

A tip on this one that may be useful today:
- All celestial objects can be reached via the "Triangle" shape above the system name in the top-left corner. I played for 4 years before someone pointed that out to me!

Yeah but you can only use that for warping, not for aligning before a fleet warp.

Yes, but when the going gets tough, not all FC:s broadcasts the align to in fleet system. Mostly you only get it via Vent or TS. Especially if the main part of the fleet are veteran pilots.
And it seems like a simple enough thing to implement, and a feature that wouldn't disturb anyone. And as it's done, it probably wasn't.:-)

Agreed. An 'Align to" for every single celestial object in space, not only the fleet version.
