I like Ghosth's idea a bit better, because of its flexibility.
Bigger squads are a fact of life, and as long as there isn't the "migrating plague of locusts" effect they can be an absolute plus. (With players spread out among arenas, 32 players don't go as far as they used to!) Entirely aside from the saud issues, there are times I have an eye out for 6-10 non squad members -- friends I havent seen for a long time; unaffiliated players who are great in the plane I'm trying to learn; guys I've worked with in the TA and would like to fly with as "teaching wingman"; and guys who are just fun to fly around (like, say, Dan/Corky/Guppy35, or Silat, etc)
A text list of 10 people to ".find" , and a macro to run the list, would be a great addition.
And HT -- this is the exact opposite of the "permasquelch list" you consistantly oppose. Here we're talking about a list that BUILDS communication and relationships....and if you're opposed to the permasquelch, you ought to be all for this!
