"Green boxing" when a logi is repping you!

Green boxing, or a different shape, or both, but we need some way to tell between being aggressed and being repped.

People on reddit loved the idea, what do you guys think?

So simple, so obvious, so perfect!


I vote red is more important than green, so if a target is both shooting and repping you, they redbox you.

Perhaps greenbox can come with a one-minute rep-timer, while you have the timer, all players you repped are under your protection, so if they get a combat flag you get the flag also.

So many ways to abuse this.

OP is great and would appreciate this.

This is a good addition.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Would save me an overview tab, the "check logi" tab (one that only shows fleet members in logistics cruisers)... Its elegant...

Still some very valid uses for a logi tab, like seeing whom is webbed, forgot a prop mod, running anMWD while aggro'd, etc.

Another effective way to alleviate the "jesus **** I'm being shot am I getting reps yet?" (in addition to the idea above) would be to add a noticeable glow around the capacitor. Like a pulsing "aura" around your cap to let you know that you're in good hands now.

In addition to green boxing:

I would like to see RR and cap transfers as the shield and armor rep icons and cap Xfer as the capacitor high icon with a big green + on it, like with EWAR on both overview and above capacitor. Graphics assets and the system to track and apply them them are mostly in game, and this makes it quick to see when you catch reps, is in line with current UI mechanics, and is useful added info without sacrificing any thing I can tell in terms of readability or user-friendliness.

I'm assuming this'd also extend to other forms of remote assistance,
Remote ECCM, Remote Sensor Boosters, Remote Tracking Computers,

Ideally, so any thing positive would be green and anything negative red, with red taking priority and a timer of course. So you couldn't fire a torpedo, and then rep me for a second and be set to green. It would remain red.

Red-Green colourblindness is a thing...

But having Logistics appear in the effects bar would be a good thing.

Well for those we could do something like blue/purple like they do in LOL maybe?

Or you could presumably change the colors like ytou can do with most of tyhe overview settings...

+1. Would extend this to any form of remote assistance, not just reps.

Like others above me have said, if it covered all remote assistance, and had red overwrite green, then I would love such an addition.

How about the shield or armor indicator on the HUD flashes green when it gets repped?

(Receiving reps from a single repper: single green flash every few seconds.
Receiving full reps from an entire logi squadron: wild green flashing merging into a comforting continual green glow...)

why you already get the flag if you rep them while they have a flag this way is just asking to be exploited


but it would be nice if while "under your protection" you showed up on any km they were on

+1 to op -1 to those saying it should show up on screen like webs/scrams its far more important for those to be seen and not hidden in clutter of friendly e-war/rr

You could always add a secondary visual cue, just like how traffc lights are always red on top, green on bottom.

Or flip back and forth between red and green

Sorry, on the way back home from getting dinner, a cop blew past us toward the highway like man on a mission. Noticed that one of his roof lights would go from red to yellow. Could make it work like blinking tags and ship label backgrounds.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."
