Title: Suggestion....

How about an intelligence button on our clipboard so we can report positions of nme fleets to be accessed by other pilots.
  For example at 0800 i spot nme fleet heding west, i can bring up the clipboard, mark the position and the heading and the time.
  A nother pilot may access this information a few minutes later by hitting the inteligence reports button and on his map will appear an icon of the nme fleets last reported position heading and time.
  Will be good for fleet hunters and without having to bother others for information of this sort via the chat box.

Interesting idea, but if it is difficult to get anyone to give you a quick position via chat channel, what makes you think anyone is going to bother opening the clipboard and putting all this info in?

Still, I like the idea and it would be neat to see it in the game.

Oh no..not u again:eek:

hehe  just kidding.  

because people do give locations via the chat channel, it is just there for a matter of seconds.  And if your busy or not reading the chat, it is gone.  Organized ntelligence is one aspect of AH that is completely missing.  So the connection betwwen the guy who saw and the guy who needs to know would be much more procedural  and coordinated.  Of course there would be the problem of false reports by nme spies, but an autograph on the report would probalby prevent this or expose the spy.
