would be nice qol for making sure everyone is at the same spot before starting an instance

Showing galaxy in like the table?

grave cargo
#

yeah

#

i cant post images but like a new column under the squad tab

#

I kinda wanna argue it should be okay, since if you have some homie added as a friend mutually, you can see the galaxy they are in

#

but its an absolute exponential mess to try to invite all your teamies accounts as friends

#

it would be nice qol, I lose track of my squaddies a lot lol

meager island
#

Yeah I'm uncomfortable with that a bit.

#

Not all teamies you want to know your location

#

I assume this is more a mega squad problem in sas

grave cargo
#

no, i just did a t23 run and it was annoying trying to sync galaxy locations

#

having to ask "where are you"

#

where did you go

#

what instance you are in

#

the woes of text communication basically

#

voice communication is king I guess, but not everyone is on it

#

Thanks for that context. I'll ponder on it. Maybe squad leaders location.

grave cargo
#

yeah that would be a nice compromise

#

since the squad leader is probally the "running" role

#

for sas I have a trick to just remember the maximum width the squad bar grows to and just put a mental note if its less we are missing someone

Related: Wtb Members share map. I know it's kinda easy to remember what the instance looks like but

"Where are you?"

"I am here [galaxy name]."

"I don't know where that is."

"[Gal][Gal][Gal][Gal]."

"I don't have any of that mapped."

#

another qol idea: show the team the player is on in the squad view

#

the game already seems to syncronize this information since it tells you "invite to team" only if the player is not on a team, and hides that option otherwise

#

What's the usefulness to know team?

grave cargo
#

We have the ability to invite anyone into the squad now with the open invitiation

#

lemme finish typing lmao

#

Without consent on the party leader's part now

#

Just some visibility into seeing who is on your squad via proxy of team name

#

I don't think player names capture identity at all, and it helps squad leaders to get an idea if someone is inviting a team alt, if some new team joined the squad and they never noticed it, etc, etc

#

Also useful to seeing people are not in a team, and might benefit with an invite

#

Ah! Yup, the squad link can let anybody join.

meager island
#

This seems more reasonable.

#

I can look into it.

#

if you squad up with someone, you're intending to interact with them whether it be to trade or do content, no?

#

not criticising your viewpoint or anything, I'm just curious as it seems counter-intuitive to me to squad up with someone but not want them to know where I am or vice-versa

meager island
#

We expect people to converse or use the easy to use galaxy sharing. Not just systematically given.

#

Its a bit too big brother for a very libertarian focused game

#

At least - imo

#

Consensual Stalking is great tho

#

I have to bug people to add me to their friends list when I squad them to get this info normally

meager island
#

That's opt in.

The friend system is called Stalker in the code
