Let SL give mass effect type squad commands to their FTls

As of title, let SL use a marker or something to designate a certain area to move, a specific enemy to attack, or an ability to use (lasing, grenading, etc). FTL will have a use as highly tactical marines glued to SL’s behind and able to pull off tight maneouvers. FTLs will not be obligated to follow SL’s markers if they are dying or out of ammo or the orders are really dumb, but if they are valid and the FTL is green they should be doing it.

Like the hives resin markers?

Like TGMC? Dunno man, doesn’t seem like a bad idea but not my style.

Yes, we should totally replace people talking with each other with special order buttons so SLs don’t have to engage in unnecessary RP.

sorry but most marines are bots anyway so i should be able to order them around like mass effect squadmates

besides pointing already achieves half of what the op is asking for

If anything, it is command who should be able to play kinda RTS style, instead of lackluster tacmap.
