These would be for the solo players,squad team,or leader of a squad.
As the leader points targets to attack,defend or capture.
Why not give the team notifications?
Such as:
-need ammo,with a bullet over their head.
-drop nanos here,with a target mark.
-hold position,to prevent someone from going solo and dying.
-need reps,with a flashing cross over their head. (like the red cross logo)
-drop strike here,just in case no one can scan but can see enemies.
-enemies seen,to let your squad know you saw enemy activity in the area recently
-need support,could be a crosshair,for requesting support fire/cover
These could be used to communicate with the team as a whole (blue berries included) even those without squads could use them too.
These would also help mic-less players communicate. |

I've seen a lot of truly bad ideas from you these past few days, but this is actually a good one. +1

Hello Meee One, and I like your suggestions too.
Some of us have been using MICs in the game, learning their strengths and limitations in communication, and ON THE SIDE, we've been pondering how communication can be expanded to allow NON-mic, hearing-impaired, and global-language players to comm with each other, FAST and HARD.
Your idea hits the mark. Really TEAM-minded, really easy to accomplish because it's just building on the squad-command-icon system that's already ingame.
Nice, Meee One! |

Another important one:
"Calling in dropship"/"Someone call in a dropships here" and "Drop me off there"
The latter would need to work even from inside dropships.
...Or CCP could just allow you to have unspecified markers with editable text. Plant one, type a custom message on your keyboard and you're ready to go. You could add some of them to your command wheel. |

Much of this could be automated.
Need ammo/reps would be simple enough to add an indicator is a player is below 25% on either.
Honestly, I love the idea of better communication, but I really can't see many players who choose to run with no mic using a massive comm wheel to communicate with their team instead.
One thing I would like to see however, is a simple 'ping' option for squad members. Any squad member can 'ping' an area of the map, and the rest of the squad will see it for a short period. Great for telling Squad Leader where to drop OB, enemies spotted, telling teammates where to drop equipment. etc.
