Display friendly ships option?

GreyTea:
Friendly ships appear on the compass as a marker, and you should always be in communication of said ship, also they are permanently on the map, adding a perma spotted ui could mess with spotting itself from enemies because you would be always spotted by ally, also adds confusion to what spotted ship is friendly or not, Being spotted is a big indicator for enemy ships if friendlies were to there would have to be color change to both, I feel newer players would get confused also,

obliviondoll:
I'm not suggesting the same indicator as you get when a ship is spotted, or for the other ship to be treated as if it's spotted. I agree that would be confusing and silly. What I'd like to see is a different kind of indicator that looks distinct from the spotting marker, but which fills the same purpose in telling you a ship's location more accurately than the map or compass can.

Despite knowing that friendly ships are shown in these locations, when the enemy has the same ship as my ally, there have been several times where I have confused an Ally with an unmarked enemy, and tried to ask my crew to attack them, only realizing later that they were in fact my ally. I don't really feel that the compass (that I almost always forget is even there) and map (that I can't see all the time anyway) do not make for sufficient indicators for my ally's location.

AbbyTheRat:
Knowing where your Allies are isn't a problem, the problem is knowing WHICH ally is where, specially in 3v3 or more. Having some sort of spotting abilities(either perma or temp) on ally ship would improve communications, speeding up coordination.

I would suggest marking Ally white, with the enemies marked as their team colour (in case we ever get a 2v2v2..)

HamsterIV:
I would like the ship name of the friendly ship to appear underneath it without the white box. White boxes are reserved for things that I need to put holes in. In a 3v3/4v4 I would like to know who is out of formation or calling for help. Also perhaps instead of the captain's name in captain chat it should show the ship name.
