highlight friendlies carrying troops

I wish that the icons of friendlies carrying troops were different from other friendly icons, to facilitate team play. Same with ord maybe  :aok

If you know who is carrying troops you can use .wingman name to highlight their icon and dar dot.

I use alt-i as well, but people don't seem to realise you're a goon until you have a Brewster 400 of your 6 :) also people drag cons to goons because they can't know the friendly is a goon until its too late...

And yes I am vocally challenged

I know different dots would be great as well but icons would be a safe start

Alt-i works ok, but it could be useful when flying down the conga line to the enemy base with your strike fighter to be able to see if a goon/goons are inbound so you know if it's worth bringing your own after you die.
