but I fear it will also bring annoying downsides with it.
- you can't see where allies are flying - you can't evade 2milordailolboats before it is too late
- if you flee/ get killed you have no idea where the player is that killed you. so you never know if he may be in the same system as you - you can't fine tune raidng parties because you have no idea where 'enemy' ships are. resulting in either overkill or an underpowered strikeforce.
- with convoys, I like to be able to see where my fellow ships are.
it's a nice idea. but imho, it has too many downsides.
edit: if you don't want to know wether you're about to fly into a trap, don't open the list. simple as that.
and if you have to open the list, make sure it's always scrolled to the top, so you mainly see only your own grouped players.
isnt this exactly the kind of thing we are trying to get rid of here?
