When forming a group for the drops, it would be really handy to:

• Have the group list broken up into lances.
  
• Allow the group leader or a designated commander to move players between lances.
  
• Allow the group leader to pass control of the group to another player.
  
• Have these lances 'copy' into the drop so the players stay together.

Essentially it's porting the functionality of the company commander into the group creation screen.


Am also thinking that it would be nice to show the classification of the lances in the group screen when the mechs/players are all organised.
That is, whether it qualifies as a light, medium, heavy or assault lance. The average tonnage would work this out for us.

We have a lot of this functionality in the Private Mode already.
Would think that it would be easy to port across to the normal group screen and also help standardize the UI between the different modes.

There is also a few extra bits of information that could be displayed about the lances that would be nice to see such as lance weight class (average of the tonnage), overall experience level (average PSR) and the effective battle value (averaged from the mechs.... more information on BV in a different post)
