Tagging, FC command shortcuts, Fleet command window.

CCP Spitfire

I am not sure if this is the first time you see this or if it has been suggested before. A search of terms didn’t give me any hits but I assume I’m not the first to believe this needed a fix. As an incursion FC I find myself tagging targets for kill orders on a continuous basis. I spend so much time tagging in some sites I am lucky to get of a single volley off before the first few targets are disposed of by an efficient fleet.

The current process of right click Target, find submenu A, expand, find submenu B, expand, find next number, repeat is very cumbersome and slow, resulting in numerous duplicate tags and missed tags.

Ideally a command key, or shortcut, that allows for the consecutive numeric tagging of targets IE; Hold ‘T’ key and click a target it is automatically tagged with 1 next target clicked is tagged with ‘2’ so on and so forth. This would allow for the proper kill order of a wave to be transmitted to the fleet in a few seconds by a competent FC. and a clearing of tags in reverse click ones it gets a number click a second time the number is removed or changed into a letter allowing for on the fly changes of primary target.



I have tried with to set a macro or a hotkey to accomplish this but have had no luck with getting a reliable working product. If there is a procedure in place and I just don’t know could someone please direct me to it if not could a Dev possibly forward this idea to a programmer to see the viability of this.

Would be really nice for the winter expansionBig smile bit short notice for programming, but I can dream.

Agreed, tagging targets should be a lot easier.

This should be added, tagging needs to be easier. If its not in soundwave's I want your little things! thread it should be.
