If your legion is like mine, you see a lot of 10-15 NPCs in a given day. Since there are a lot of repeats, it is very hard to keep track of which ones you have done your damage too and which ones you haven't. It would be great if the lock emblem could be added to the page somewhere so you know which ones you need to hit vs which ones you don't. I've attached an example picture:

That's actually a really good idea. I can see potential causes of confusion around the lock at first though, so it should probably come with one of the famous Dan tooltips lol.

Well, that would be a given!  Quote: You have done enough damage that you are guaranteed experience points and loot if this NPC is killed within the necessary time frame.

I really like that idea, maybe a different symbol for NPCs you hit but didn't lock into for what ever reason, and same thing happens in The Rangers, lots of NPCs and they all are they same type, takes WAY to many clicks to find your target

An extension of this idea that I for one would like to see is this. Have ALL npc's that are alerted within the legion (including your own) viewable on the Alert pane for everyone to see. For NPC's you are not eligible for (due to rank requirements) instead of a Target button, have a grayed out View button and you also would not get a message in your News. I know myself, as a Leader, I like to keep track of who is sharing what and who is attacking it. But because I have a significant rank advantage over a number of my legion mates, I can't see what the "small fry" are serving up. This can also be handy for members to see what the future will bring as far as Elites go, allowing them to tailor their ships accordingly. When the NPC is being viewed, those who can not attack it would have a Not Eligible lock instead of an Attack button.  ----

Yeah, nice idea, Darth; that would definitely help with keeping up with what's going on. Frequently people in my Legion are talking about NPCs that the other people on can't even see.

Bumping this oldie but goodie. We're seeing a lot of NPC spam and it is hard to keep track of which ones you've locked in on and which ones you haven't.

+1 to the bump. Still a great idea. Especially for legions with a wide range of ranks. Come on Dan, this got buried undone once before, don't let it happen again.
