I was told to post here.
This is an idea I had last night, as I was managing literally dozens of targets all by myself at once.
View this animation and see what I mean.
As you can see here, when the Ibis appears on the overview, he lights up briefly and fades to normal. This feature (which you could toggle in overview settings) would aide a great deal on acknowledging what just showed up to assist in managing multiple targets. That way if you're trying to figure out who just showed up, now you can get a visual on it.
:D
A recent alternative:

Uuuh, good one.
Might want to have a slider or input box for sensitivity (time, say in seconds, for fade-to-default-background colour).
Heck, why not, an overview column for "time on overview" which you could sort by.

Hrmm... an animation which could be remarkably similar to many peoples custom war or -5.0 pirate target animation for new arrivals on overview....I don't see this being fraught with peril.

i dont' agree. with fleet fights, when you're lagging your asses off, and have the option of flash when you enter the battle. then everybody would just target you, because you're not loaded yet, so there is no way in eve you can get out or return fire... |

I disagree with your opinion.
Game mechanics in EVE fleet battles are sort of out the window anyway, so you are bringing a normal game mechanic to a very extreme point of view. |

if this was an option then it'd be a good idea. Using it in small engagements, FW etc then its amazing, but 0.0 fleet battles it'll lag you out. I like if it can be done and be toggleable.

Brilliant idea, although the flashy animation in your gifs seems a little slow. |

Wouldn't this be a disadvantage to bomber and recon pilots?

Perhaps you could say how?

A tactic used by cloaked ships is to wait until the majority of ships are fully engaged to decloak and start ewar mods or launch cruise missiles / bombs with a lower chance of the enemy noticing them and working to counteract them.
I'm not saying I'm against the idea but if I were a pilot who flew cloaked ships alot I wouldn't want to be flashing on the enemy fleet's overview once I decloaked.

another great feature, i am not being sarchastic, that would be the first thing to get turned off in a 50+ fight as it would cause excessive lag. In a perfect word, yes, but in eve, no!
