Overview sorting problems - DPS

Anyone else having problems sorting by name / type when running PVE sites? I go to lock a Tama Cerebellum and I lock three different ones...

Re: Overview sorting problems - DPS

It's impossible to guarantee the Overview window is sorted the same in all windows. The same things might not even show up in the list.

To avoid problems like this, the recommended solution is to not use mouse broadcasting for the overview window. Instead, broadcast the target to your fleet using the game's fleet broadcast feature, and then use mouse broadcasting on the fleet window. This way all of your toons have no choice but to target the same thing

That works fine for PVP, but for PVE in gunboats you're going to need to lock multiple targets, and thats where I'm getting problems

Fleet broadcasts can handle multiple targets just fine.

Sorting by icon seems to work for me most of the time, but if you want to get it right every time then you'll need to use fleet broadcasts.

Re: Overview sorting problems - DPS

Set up a hotkey on your main character to broadcast target and set up your characters fleet window to show broadcast history and target via the broadcast history instead of the overview. Works just fine for me.
