Good fights all along, see you all next week!

MwaaaAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

I survived as well.

Edited accordingly.

Didn't there used to be a rule about Grey pilots needing to be 'hate' with their home nation? This would help with the radar showing enemies as green.

That's what the group is for

Group doesn't help with targeting, it's just visual clue. There have also been NWs where teams had multiple groups, thus no help at all.

Thirty people fighting in one sector, did the game behave properly?

It behaved fine. I saw a couple ships lag-jump, but other than that I didn't notice any problems.

As for targeting people, you could set up MakeFriends, or you could take the simpler approach and use TargetButton instead. The latter is what I do; it lets me target the nearest person who isn't a member of my group, regardless of what color their dot is. Very handy for group combat. It can also be set to ignore members of your guild, which can help with the "groups aren't big enough" issue. Well, in the case of Nation War that's more helpful to the nationalists; not so much for the NGOs.

MakeFriends (part of TCS) offers more fine-grained control over who is and is not a red dot.
