<div class="IPBDescription">Add the player list from the insight HUD.</div>To improve the marine commander experience I would like to see the list of players, seen on the left in the spectator insight HUD, to be added to the marine commander HUD so the commander can quickly know who is low on health, ammo and armour. Since this gui element is already encapsulated into it's own lua file it would be an easy patch.
Here's a screenshot to further explain what I mean.

To go even further, I think it would be nice if you could drop health packs and ammo on to a name and it would be applied directly to that player.

EDIT: I would recommend switching the player list to the right, and putting the notifications on the left.
<ul><li>Less distance to travel between command card and player list for equipment drops.</li><li>Most RTS games put notifications on the left anyway.</li></ul>
+1 to this idea but dropping on their name is a bit too easy. :D You actually had to look at ur marine when u dropped in support, doing it by dropping on to the name is better UI but it removes the attention devoted by the commander to assist players.
