Add another information too the targeted pilot??

How about adding the "Speed" feature in this game.

Example: It will now show:

Target: Player2
Health: XXXXXXXXXX
Distance: 777m
Speed: 200

And what about the match speed feature if you wanna form up on another wingman? Has that been implemented?

Yes! This would be extremely useful. Not sure if its necessary for the initial release at this point, but I like the idea. I would also like to see a rate of closure indicator. These would be useful for determining if you're gaining on an opponent when chasing them, or determining the exact instant an opponent starts boosting.

I think the rate of closure would be mostly used by pirates/griefers, not by duellists.

i agree with celkan on that. in my not so humble opinion it should only display such things (speed, rate of closure) if you were in the same group, so as to nip any abuse in the bud.
because who would be gullible enough to join a group with a griefer in it more than once?

yarr...rate of closure isn't too hard to figure out on your own anyway. THough the speed one would be nice

I think it's cool, but redundant. You can already tell how fast someone is traveling be seeing how quickly their distance changes. To me that's more important than finding out what their speed is, because speed doesn't take direction into account.

Umm.. the speed in relation to what exactly?

I think Tilt was referring to their absolute velocity, the same number you see displayed on the left hand of your HUD. That you cannot always tell from watching how fast your target's distance changes.
