Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi all

The Watchlist is a very useful tool for obvious reasons but as a plain list it is very basic and has the potential to be more helpful.

I'm no coder but I would imagine that it would be reasonably simple to add a feature that allows individual pilots to colour-code each entry on their list from a simple swatch palette, even setting the transparency so it doesn't glare and interfere with gameplay. I'm thinking that this should be a coloured background applied to the line across its full width rather than the text of the username itself, but it would help to determine pilots' roles at-a-glance so fleetmates can see, for instance, that all logi pilots are taking damage and maybe it's time to GTFO.
For example (based on how I set up my own Watchlist):

Scout - blue
Scout - blue
FC - red
FC 2 - red
Fleetmate - no colour
Fleetmate - no colour
Fleetmate - no colour
Fleetmate - no colour
Fleetmate - no colour
Fleetmate - no colour
Fleetmate - no colour
Fleetmate - no colour
Logi - yellow
Logi - yellow
Logi - yellow

Because colouring the Watchlist would be an option, those who want it can use it and those who think it's an awful idea can forget it's even there. Everyone wins.
