We need a "Find Wing" button

Similar to the Hunting Xeno and Xeno Research crew join/request, we need a way to find other people who want to hunt Thargoids.

Right now, it is... difficult. Unless your friends happen to be online and nearby, or the people in the system you are in are also looking to hunt Thargoids, it is virtually impossible to find people to wing with who want to hunt thargoids. Yes, you can go on to Discord, but given that hunting Thargoids almost necessitates being in a wing, it seems to me that finding people to wing with should now be a core game mechanic that is implemented in game.

A simple visual aid in the galaxy map which indicated how many commanders in which systems would be willing to wing up for that same goal (the same list of goals as is found in the Find Crew list of activities, for instance) would do wonders. That way, at least I would know which of the many systems to in which one can hunt Thargoids to go to to find similar minded commanders.

I'll bet I'm not the first one to suggest this, but thought I'd renew the conversation.

+1 Good idea

Edit : Lol i just saw i created same idea a few days earlier well not for wings in general, but to attack Thargoids together.

But if there is such option then there will be really a war against Thargoids...

For now FDev wants to see how we react against Thargoids to decide what the future will realise for us. Will we allied with one of the Thargoids faction ?

What I'm thinking: from the comm tab, we have a "SET WING SIGNAL" option: https://imgur.com/a/MThg8

From there, we can set a wing signal to indicate we'd like to wing up with other commanders to participate in any of the activities which are listed under "FIND CREW". Once your wing signal is set, in the radar, any other ships which share the same wing signal will be indicated with a special new color.

In addition, if you navigate to the Galaxy Map, new icon marker options for the Wing signals appear, allowing you to see which systems other players who are looking to wing up for the same purpose are located:

The number of "+" next to the icon provide a rough, cached estimate of the number of other players in that system who are interested in winging up for that purpose.

This would be super helpful.
