Apologies if I am missing something simple, but is there a better way in the middle of a big battle to distinguish between who has you targeted -- and who is actually 'doing something' to you? I understand the small brackets go from blink yellow to red, but they are very small on my screen, can I for instance get the whole row on the overview to go blink red or something?

Would you like to know more?

In your overview settings, in the backgrounds tab, right click the red box at the end of the 'pilot is an outlaw' line and select 'toggle blink'. Also, you want to drag that 'pilot is an outlaw' line so that its higher in the list than 'pilot has bad/terrible standing' as the background color of a given line is determined by the first condition in that list that matches said line.

I used to have a clever sig but I lost it.

yellow box = targeting, red box = agroing

Just assume that everyone is shooting at you in the middle of a fight and behave accordingly. It's easier that way.

You can also change the UI colours if you are colour blind...that way, Minmatar pilots won't look like all the other pilots.

Great news for you (and for us all in fact) - a completely new indicator panel, with clear, big icons showing the stuff applied to you by enemies is already out on SiSi!

Coming in Escalation.

Good riddance, microscopic overview indicators.

You could turn combat notifications on and they pop up on your overview.
But by the time you read them you may need to save your pod.

Not so much, thats what actually sourced my inquiry; was taking down a Curse and Dominix gate camp when in flew in a couple of non-associated Hurricanes. The canes targeted me, but apparently didn't open fire -- so as the damage to my ship started all of a sudden spiking to critical levels I snapped a lock on the canes and tried to jam them too by mistake, thinking they were the source of the big damage spike...

Big mistake, I gave them aggro -- and they finished me in seconds, while my fleet mates were unable to assist...

So, my fault? yes. Could it have been more easily avoided if I had a more clear (panic resistant) visual to let me know the canes clearly weren't shooting -- yes. On my monitor & resolution level even with font set to 13 (max) the bracket distinction between yellow and red blink isn't quick/clear enough.

And, even better, you have the right click menu available on those indicators. Though currently ctrl+click does not work, and they are still buggy. 10 days left, lets hope ccp fix this within the next 30 days.
