Fleet Broadcast Settings

Howdy,
In my advancement in EVE I've come to enjoy all forms of fleets and doctrines quite a bit. Some more than others of course. And I've found myself ending up doing logi from time to time.
In any case, to my point. I searched for this and couldn't find anything similar and I'm sorry if it's been mentioned already. Furthermore if a feature like this already exists and i somehow missed it, call me a pubbie and throw angry words my way.

So, a part of 'elite pvp' is to optimize your fleet broadcast settings so that if you're doing logi, you will only receive broadcasts in the form of "Needs Armor" and "Needs Shields" etc.. so that all the other clutter won't make you miss a broadcast resulting in someone sploding hilariously.
And the opposite when you're flying as dps or ewar. Then you wanna remove the logi related notifications and only focus on "Align to" and "Target" etc etc..

Now, as i mentioned, I regularly switch between flying logi and flying dps in fleets and fine tuning the broadcast notifications back and forth every time is a pain and a lot of :effort:

So what I'm suggesting, is a feature that will let you fine tune, and save said fine tuning as a group. So that you can simply select it when needed. I'm imagining the feature to be similar to the overview settings and how you're able to save different setups for your overview to only show the essential stuff.

That's basically it. no game changer by any means, but will make the life of flying in fleets even more streamlined and intuitive.
And again, sorry if it's been suggested or if this already exists.
Discuss. Yay? Nay?

This would be a nice QoL improvement.

Would be a nice addition. Would be even better as part of a complete overhaul of the fleet UI.

Support this idea - and you'll be able to implement it yourself. Ideally this type of thing is something users can quickly add/tweak - rather than waiting for the ccp/csm approval/deployment cycle.
