Couldn´t find it yet in the forum, but what about a ping key that pings the position of your mech on your teammates radar / compass.

If you call for help, you don´t have to search for your position on your radar. You just call for help, press the key, and your mates see the ping and can react faster, because they see your position in half a second.

I could have needed this feature a few times by now.

This would be a great addition to "info warfare" type mechs!

Like a light scout could do that or a command assault... Idk maybe pgi can play with the idea!

Consider it supported by me as well. I keep finding Light Mechs poking their lasers up my Assault's rear.

Like anyone would come to help anyway Give them that button they ask, let 'em have some fun with "pingflooding" our minimaps, whatever

Actually, I suspect they might come to help if they got a ping. There's been a few times that I threw up a UAV when I was being backflanked by a Light Mech while I was in a Heavy or Assault. Thankfully, I got some rather quick support that helped save the whole match, because the team didn't lose my firepower.
