No DEV love though
They are probably still in awe at how amazeballs this suggestion is. They may need a wee lie down before they can comment.
Or still LOLing!
On another note can we have a keyboard binding to engage nav-lock to go with the of wingman target binding
Yeah, that is an option too. Please Mr A.N. Other Dev, give us a hint that you have even seen this, and may be introducing something similar in game?
It really is so annoying not know when your wingmen are locked to you or in range, and when you have a few wings in TS it is almost impossible to coordinated it vocally.

To this I would also add an indicator of fuel levels, including how much is committed for the next planned jump.
+1. Additionally, there are so many keybinds (which is great btw... nothing against them), but any graphical indicators that are clear and easy to understand just help smooth things out.
I haven't been able to test Wings specifically, though I have reported some bugs in 1.3 from open play. HOwever, I have watched 3 streams of players trying to get all winged up and give it a go. Suffice it to say there is a learning curve as the controls and graphics are not perhaps as intuitive as the Devs think/ thought/ will think/ thunk. The shape of the wingmen on the scanner, for instance, should reflect the shape shown in the HUD.
Also, not sure why Wingmen icons are not down on the dash around the sensor, 2 on left, 2 on right maybe (to include own ship status and who linked with). Seems to be plenty of room there and where you look for sensor data naturally. But just my opinion.

The mockup actually looks perfect to me. May as well put that in verbatim and give the OP a free cargo hold of onionhead.
Good job OP

Very simple and sound solution to what is a problem when leading a wing.
All pilots in the wing need to know the status of each others lock not just the wing leader.
A solution needs to be looked at also for chained wings, where you're connected in a loop rather than to 1 person.
Chained wings Allow anyone in the wing to initiate a jump/drop/interdiction.
Standard WIng
1-> not locked
2-> 1
3-> 1
4->1
Chained Wing
1->2
2->3
3->4
4->1
Just a simple solid/broken chain symbol to show whether the loop is complete.

How will wings work?
I would like to know how it will work? I mean will I just auto follow my friend (the leader) to where ever he goes? and all I need to do is just sit and wait?
and also won't it destroy the whole meta as it will be much more dangerous to fly alone? because as much as it sounds super cool and all, I still enjoy flying alone and have the freedom of the space, while encountering different events, not that I had the chance to do many of those xD

Ahh I see! fair enough, that helped a lot
, but I am afraid that its not exactly what I was talking about, but close! I will give you that! at any rate I was talking about the update
don't worry, common mistake, but I would still like to know the answer for the co-op that is about to come.Deleted member 38366
