You would not believe how many times I've put the defend on a random blueberry cause they happen to run imbetween myself and a squadmate!!!!!

my suggestion would be to include keyboard shortcuts but also improve the usability of the ingame controller UI.

When moving orders around I'd love it if they stuck to the last thing I went over. Maybe hold L2 to mark something. then as I move the cursor around every object I move over causes a 50% opacity selection to appear. When I let go the order is given.

ALSO the ability to give orders from the squad chat window.

Glad you posted on this...common issue that seems small but could be turned around into a really nice addition to the game. As it is now, 95% of the FRAGOs are Defend orders on a friendly target and the other functions get little use.

If the SQD LDR controls were a bit easier to manipulate you would have quite a bit more folks using them. If you increase the effecieny of the controls and tweak the WPs associated with them you have instant value to the position.

Remap the controls a bit, select commands from squad menue, or how about drop commands from the tactical map:

1) Defend points remain relatively ok. Perhaps if you drop the defen on an installaiton the whole squad gets a small bump of WPs for every 30sec the objective is under our control.

2) Attack orders gain bonus WP for killing the target or hacking the OBJ...would be nice if you could select this from the player roster screen as well. You may refer to this as the Bounty System .

3) Try to have more Squad wide bonus for the use of Squad Commands. Good job positively reinforcing the SL with WP comissions.

4) For deeper level of play and playstyle development (down the road) have a settings tab for the SL when he makes his SQD and he give him a set "pool" of bonus conditions that he can adjust based on his style or the corp tactics.
Examples: Max offensive order WP awards, Max defensive order WP awards, balance WP awards. On the balanced setting the WPs are awarded as they are now. For settign the dial to offense you get 1.5 times the WPs for those actions and .5 times the actions for defensive WPs and the inverse when you set it for Max Defense.

Still want
