== Summary ==

At present, when someone locks you, they get a yellow bracket around their icon in the overview. When they take offensive action, the bracket turns red. However, there is no indication when a player attempts to help you.

== Potential Solution ==

* When a player aids you, the bracket should turn green.

* If the player both helps and hurts you, the bracket should blink between red and green.

* If possible, it would be nice if icons similar to the EWar icons were displayed, so that a player knows how he is being helped.

== Pros ==

* More information.

* Should not require any additional information to be sent to the client.

* Perfect for the Thousand Papercuts project.

== Cons ==

* '''Red/Green colors may cause issues for color-blind players'''. In the [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/User_Interface_-_Big_Wins%2C_Fan_Favorites_and_Low_Hanging_Fruit_%28CSM%29|UI Big Wins, Fan Favorites & Low Hanging Fruit] proposal, one of the Fan Favorites was the ability to alter the standard EVE colors (red, green, yellow, etc) that are used in the UI, so that color-blind players can tweak them to values they can differentiate. This is another perfect Papercuts item.
