    One very repetitive question in the group chat seems to be: 'How many more?'. Maybe we could see what's the number of aliens we need to kill, the type and keep track of how many are left. This, in the group window. Where we could add or remove aliens to the list.
    That or the possibility to view each others missions, if we allow it.
     
  2. I always tried to grab the same missions as the rest of the group so we all knew what was needed as we all share the kills as long as we were in battle (under attack counts) and therefore were not necessarily involved with killing it but getting credit in the mission for having done so.

    For this reason, I feel like it is more useful if others could see when you found and NPC they need so that you can shoot something. Especially smaller UBER npc tend to die before you can shoot something or get shot. Sure there is the chat but not everyone uses it.
     
  4. The outfit window will always shows if a player is in a battle as their ship turns "red" and it does show what they have locked on or is attacking them. If in the UBER map then it is very easy to remain under attack just don't outrun the mass that started following you.

    Naah I find it rather easy to outrun the NPC crowd in a Spearhead or Pusat. Besides the UBER NPC's only show a ? so if my outfit member locks an UBER NPC that I don't need (for example because he does need it) I would have to hover over. I feel like a hotkey that makes it clear when someone finds an NPC you need more useful. Perhaps I am lazy for not just using the ping option but so be it :p
     
  6. Eehhhhh, I don't see an issue with how it is, so people have to waste their time changing the number the whole time? It's so easy to just type it out in chat. and most people are using things like Discord, so being chat banned can't be an excuse, I had many DO friends on FB back in the day, and we all used TS all the time.
