I know we get to see the type of match a friend invites us to but we can't see what they are playing unless they invite. That got the ball rolling so I comprised a short list of changes I'd like to see:
  • Able to See Match Before Joining - I have my match preferences and I would rather join my friends in a match I prefer {ex. Siege} than randomly getting in to a blind match {ex: Deathmatch}
  • Labels - AFK, Away, Looking to Play, etc...
  • ID Pix - like the ones we have in the forums {makes Identification faster}
  • Custom Lists - To group friends as they wish to
  • Custom Nicknames - Easy to remember names
  • Clan ID - Name
  • Clan ID - Symbol/Mini Tag
I think these would be excellent additions to the Hawken experience.

What would you players like to see done with the friends lists?

It would also be useful to know the map and what stage the game is in (started, midway, end).

But how do you gauge the midway or end of a game?
In Missile Assault or a timed Deathmatch this could work well.

It would be hard to estimate in Siege.
I've been in a battle with 200 left on our base their 2nd ship to make a fantastic comeback and took all 2000 of the enemys base in one final strike!
Epic...

I would like to know how to or, what's wrong with adding friends to your list once you get a request from someone? I often log in to find that some have asked me to be their friend and when I accept, they vanish and no-one is added to the list. Am I going about it all wrong?

How about a line on how long the game has been going on in the friends list? That way you can infer in most cases what stages the game would be at, barring exceptional matches in missile assault or siege.
