Ok a selfish request here.
Could we get an API to list unit tag, unit name, units current faction alignment

Thank you
Cheers

Kind of prefer the faction alignment thing to be something that players might have keep tabs on themselves?

Intelligence layers for the game do add to the gameplay for some. It also helps to promote diplomacy and dialouge amongst the playerbase.

Not opposed to the above as it really doesnt help too much with objectives at the end of the day, but it might provide awareness to movements of forces that would be best allowed to be hidden for CW?

Maybe it could be granted with some limited security that links a key for your own group or player that would at least allow you to be aware of your own factional make up. That might help with internal communications but not providing intelligence on other factions movements or presence?

Good point, its just hard to group units TS servers into factions if they are changing every week.

I've been playing with server querying of team speak servers yesterday and plan on building a communications hub.
So a web page listing units that 'register', their tag, unit name, number of players in their channel that are on-line now and a join TS button. These lists will be grouped into faction pages with an uncommitted to gather the rest.

Got any ideas on how to track unit faction status mate?

Cheers
