Hi there,

I have posted this in the features and ideas discussion however no answer at all from a dev or someone that could explain if this would be possible or not.

In my mind this idea that I am going to propose would not be a hassle to maintain or get it to work since from what I know the shortcuts have been worked on before in the previous expansions and well hopefully scalable to other functions.

However if this would not be possible a short answer would be nice to hear or a long one if possible. This is why I hope someone on the CSM would like to have this feature heard.

Long story short. Make it possible to have a shortcut to tag objects and remove tags with a simple [shortcut] + [# or A-Z] and also a way to clear them.

This would work so you have your own custom key that you can press and then select an object as you do today and then press a number or a alphabet key to tag that item.

Select in overview or on screen -> press shortcut -> press Z or #0 would then assign TAG Z or 0 on the selected object. And also a shortcut if possible to clear a tag.

Would be perfect if you could assign it on a mouse button (side buttons etc)

+5 and a Sleepless Upholder. Would make the life of WH and Incursion PvE FCs FAR easier, and make tagging a viable PvP tool as well.

We have shortcuts for BCing targets, why not tagging? :D
It'll make my life Tagging in INCs, WHs a whole lot easier.

I disagree on making it fun for the FC, I believe it should be a necessity for the FC to have those tools available to him. Maybe even a tactical overlay star chart with real time showing of red and blues. Lol +1 support

+1 Anything to make things easier on the players who devote their time to making sure other players have as much fun as possible.

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

This would be a great idea. Shouldn't be hard at all and would easily fit into the "Thousand Papercuts" category.

I doubt it would make an FC's job any more "enjoyable"...perhaps easier though.

Oh yes please. 1++

Though just fixing the menu system so you can cut corners without the sub-menu closing (as most modern windowing systems have implemented) would be a huge win too.

To be honest, i think the best thing ccp can do for target callers is to make the "broadcast: target" and "remove battleship from overview" NOT BE RIGHT BESIDE EACH OTHER.

I think anybody whose fc'd using broadcasts has mis-clicked.

Tag shortcuts are way over dew. Please add this feature.
