The group hud display is pretty simplistic, only showing the relative health of each group member.

Some additional info would go a long ways to helping with coordination. Things such as:

1. Current sector.
2. If same sector, distance away.
3. A small indicator that shows if the player is jump capable (i.e. at or beyond the 3000 distance requirement).

Some kind of autopilot feature would also be very useful in order to rally up with another member of your group.

and the same goes for a Guild...

either that or allow more than 8 in a group?

Of course, once all those things are added, you won't actually have enough room on the display to -see- the group member...

True. Making better use of higher resolutions and making that extra information optional would go a long ways to solving that issue.

As it is, I cranked my resolution up to 1600 x 1200 and was disappointed with everything pretty much looking exactly the same as the default. ;)

Use the hudscale function.
