I guess the point of hotgrouping IPs would be so you could see if it was under attack right away by the flashing at the top of the screen. That way you would get more specific info than "buildings under attack."
And oh yeah, sweet job Flayra and team.
...When is the post on Lerk changes goin up?? ehhe...
guys imagine a system where all your marines display bottom left, and clicking their icon can allow you to drop em medpacks and ammo direct... If you thought heath spam was lame before imagine the crummy posibilities with this... <span style='color:red'>HELL NO, I SAY AGAIN HELL NO!!!!!</span>
I lend my support to the all names on screen bitty, and wouldnt that remove the need for full-bright models, thus taking a possible hack method away (bear in mind I want my support back tho <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ).

Then you are playing on rubbish servers...not all commanders Spam medpacks..
Edit: And what you have said is already possible...you Can already directly go to a marine asking for a medpack..just press space... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
One quick question, how will the hotgrouping be implemented?
I can see three possibilities, either they are (1) on a per-player basis (one commander makes some hotgroups, hops out, another gets in, no hotgroups, and makes his own seperate from the first commander's), (2) on a per-team basis (All marines, when commander, will have the same 'shared' hotgroups, and changing them will change what any other player would have if he became commander at a later time), or (3) a per-session basis (Meaning if you made hotgroups, then jumped out of the chair, your hotgroups for the session are gone). I'm kind of doubting the third.

turns out its actualy expensive to make a keyboard lol, but your game has inspired me that much over the last 6 months that its worth it. nothing more pleasurable then spending 4 hours or so everyday playing ns especially when you can command a team to victory through teamwork and skill EVEN ON PUB server's. :o <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I think the addition of idle-peon and "hotgroups" will greatly enhance marine gameplay and enable a more collective team effort by all on the marines. Thanks Flayra =)

Your EDIT 1: It's probably one of the new maps that are going to be in 1.1
i noticed that the marines STILL dont have their names above their heads constaintly <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
By the way, this is an old screenshot. It looks better and has more functionality now. Yes, one of the things that is in that you don't see here is marine names always displaying over their heads.
Just when you think it stopped, 1.1 keeps getting better and better <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

And Flayra, I can't see much point in hotgrouping IPs. Oh and this leads to another question: Will there be group-selecting <b>buildings</b>?
