Firstly, let me apologise in case this idea's already been thought up by someone else, I had a quick look around and couldn’t see one about it.



the idea is simple enough, You can currently see peoples shield / armour levels when they're locked, but at the moment there's no accounting for what state their cap is in

I propose introducing cap information to the watch list, either as just a 4th bar along with peoples hull info, or perhaps showing it as just cap stable / unstable & the estimated time to depletion.

It might not be feasible, but it would certainly make my life a lot easier as a logi pilot.

You have ship scanners for that.

Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home.

true enough, although it's not really practical when your trying to keep an eye on an entire gang of people, and feels like a bit of a waste of a module slot for what ammounts to pritty basic information.

as idea's go its not gonna change your life, but i think it'd be a nice extra if ccp are trying to do "little things"

Don't think they should give you that information "free". All Shield/Armour/Hull are external(ish) systems that would be easier to gleam. Cap usage is an internal function that a specialist module should be used to probe.

I support the idea for watchlists. Not for targeting however. It would make the already stupid easy job of neuting someone that much easier.
