Oddly enough, I think it works for the Rasalhauge nobility. HAHA!

[Idea] Additional Elements To 'show Target Overlay'
22 March 2013 - 08:20 PM
Evening Gentlemen and Ladies of PGI, and the Forums.
I was dropping with my brothers from Ghost Bea- ehm.. Ghost Brigade. I took command on the Battlegrid and place an objective. A idea was proposed that I thought was most valuable and felt it should be brought forward. When you hold 'Q' by default for 'Show Target Overlay', not only should all your on sensor allies been and available enemy information but also we should have a current Commanders objective as a floating image with range indicator. As well the two Bases for Assault, or 5 targets for Conquest.
We felt this would be a valuable and much needed asset to the gameplay. This would benefit both advanced and beginner MechWarriors. 'Information is ammunition' and the ability to easily see where your objective is could be beneficial at all times. I could see some argue that it could add to much information on the HUD, or that it is already up on the Compass heading. I think that the quick reference to it by using the overlay button 'Q' still out-weighs the possible jumble if it is 'aligned' the right way during gameplay.
I would also like to add in the request for toggle Q check box in options, default off. I and many people I have talked to would like this ability. A quick press is nice a lot of the time, but there are many situation I would have loved to keep it on, personally I would probably always keep it on. As well... information is ammunition
I hope my idea interests the DEVs and that some idea for tweaking can be thought through by the community.
TL:DR
Default 'Q' command gives the additional information of battlegrid 'Commander Commands' as well as base locations. Both with range indicators.
