Nowadays, in the days of group XP hunting, there can be a lot of confusion when pulling baddies (Dantooine, bol paks, 7 targets, not good). The toher day I was reading an X-Wing book and remembered how the droid marked out different targets and sent the targeting info to the members of the Squadron, and it got me thinking...


A skill like Target Tagging would be a real asset to a group, on the land or in space. It would be easy to do... the SL targets a baddie, and types /tag 1 or/tag A or /tag critical, or anything like that. The the entire group sees his tag in big, bright bold letters over the critters HAM. That way, a SL could say "Attack target 1, so-and-so and s0-and-so, and the rest of you attack target 2 while i take critical". There would have to be a limit to the number of tags I guess, but it would be lots if fun and also woudl fit in with therally theme.

we pretty much already have this ability in /volleyFire & /sys. Volley Fire now displays a big crosshair over the designated target.

Yeah, but this would be to order different targets at the same time. Right now everyone just gets really clsoe together, hits TAB and fires, no need for volley unless you get unorganized.

yepp already thought about that here and posted it somewhere (too lazy to look itup right now).

But .. currently Im happy if the DEVs dont touch anything .
I fear the more they try to fix and balance things the more they break the game
(see current /formup nerv as well as the current chat lag)
