Any chance we can get a minor change that will change the color of the icons for your groups mechs on the minimap/map? Make it a smidge easier to meet up and go help group members.

hold q, read name, walk toward your friend, problem solved.

I know that's possible, but how hard would it be to make group members all green on the minimap so you can see it at a glance?

Seems a like a simple enough idea. And its a pretty common UI feature in most games these days. I would like to see that.

i am all for that, also it would be reall nice if the commander was in yellow on the map. so if you type form on me, head to x location, they can just glance at the map and know where the commander is going. pressing Q has the problem at the beginning of everyone being on top of each other and you cant read the names till you move out. also it would be reall nice if the commander could get into the battle map thing and take command during the count down. get the plan set in the 10 sec, and move out. it would really help/

I approve of this!
Now more then ever since we are limited to 4 man groups.

edit: oh, and not only on the map, but in the world view as well.
Maybe even place a number (since letters are enemies) next too it. You as the player would see that same number in your cockpit. So when you communicate you could say "Mech 4 needs help asap!". and team mates would only have to look for the triangles with the number 4, or look on the map. And would know who needs help.

Also:
How about having a team (or group) window (ala classic mmo ui) where you can see the status of all your team mates. Like health, recieving damage warning, ammo count, the grid number they are in, stuff like that.
Health being the most important.

That would really help the teamwork and perhaps get people to help each other more.
