Like on the ground, if you click on someone's tab on the group menu, do you target them in space? If not I'd like to see this implemented because as a rebel, I'm a bit of a medic in space (Jumpstart) and typing /target RandomGroupMemberHere is getting old, and not quick enough when things get hairy =/.


Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I don't know if clicking on the tab works, but CTRL-(number) does.

A lot of our pilots fly consistently with certain people, so they have macros set up.


For example, my wingman is Abi. To target her quickly, I have a simple macro set up that just has "/target Abi". Then I drop that macro on a convenient F-key--say F5. Then, in battle, if Abi says "I need help!" on TeamSpeak, I tap F5 to locate my wingman quickly in battle.


Some of our pilots have an extra line on the macro, in case the battle gets too spread-out and suddenly wingmen are out of range; in that case, the macro I'd use would be "/findfriend Abi;/target Abi" and I'm in business.
