When you wish to add names to your address book/watchlist you need to right click and add contact for each person you wish to add, this gets tiresome when you wish to add a lot of people in one go (e.g. during a war dec).

I propose there should be an easier way to add names in bulk (like cntl+click on names to select multiple names) or that you can setup a corporate level watch so that the members of your corporation has access to a watch list without each member having to create their own.

So you can set up bulk supercap/wardec target watchlists?

No. The point of the watchlist is so you can see when people you want to talk to come online, it's not supposed to be an intel tool for seeing when people you want to run from/kill come online. Not supported at all.

You're under-utilizing a very nice tool to have friend.

We do it now. This just makes it so that 200 people don't have to perform the same actions.

As with bookmarks, it's silly that these things can't be transmitted.

I would personally Love this, but at the same time as another has mentioned would make this Intel tool far too easy. Being a smart Intel gatherer should have it's hard work be a benefit. I do agree though, that a corpmate should be able to share his/her list Corp wide to eliminate tedious repetiveness throughout the corp.

In short, people should be required to do their homework to create an Intel list, but the entire corp shouldn't have to repeat it.

Whomever said, "You only get one shot to make a good impression," was utterly wrong. I've made plenty of great impressions with my Autocannons 

Wonder what those little color coded buttons (dark blue to red) when you add a contact are for? Roll

Empire merc work/ combating mercs is made very difficult by the little things like this. Not to mention groups alt rep during aggression (literally anyone in the vicinity can insert themselves into any fight between two other groups at war) and can just dock up with no timer or the fact that the address book is bugged and shows people online that are not. Any way we can make the stuff already in-game work first? I think that's all Nayrl is saying.

watchlist != contacts or standing. It's one thing to set standings for someone so you know if they're friend or foe, it's another to watch and see every time they come online or log off.

Like they've said above, people are already doing this ... so it's not allowing anything new ... it's just removing unneeded boredom.
