Hello and Greets.

At the last days i getting some games with my new unit, and at the map or in the battle i can´t see somebody of them.
At every battle we must *find* us to beginning...
Why are teammades not special colored to find them quicklier???
And what is with a ingamechat? i miss this to write with added friends..

and sorry for my english xD

If you are in a premade team, you should probably use voice comms rather than chat. Chatting thru printing is way slower, than using voice. Ingame chat is fine IMO - press "T" for all-chat window and "Y" for team-chat. (Keys by default).
Premades currently are not marked with something special marks. Guess because of all PUG hatred to these teams. Maybe, lances will be marked somehow in the future with all this information warfare.
And to mention, I don't understand why both teams colored with the same basic green. I would gladly see one team with one color and one with another by default, if they have no custom coloring.

Well that is why there are blue arrows above your teammates and red ones above the enemy. If this is such an issue for you though maybe you could simply convince your group to go with a specific mech paint job so you can more easily identify them. I know that's one way to go about I sometimes see people in small groups do that and its still an option since team insignias haven't been incorporated into the game yet.
