    Seperate Nameplate setting for FC members

    One thing that I would like to see is a separate place in Nameplate settings for Free Company members.

    It would be nice to have this in my opinion because sometimes you have to go through a lot of work in order to just target one of your Free Company members if they're near a summoning bell, near a market board, or even if they're in a city/town and there's a lot of people around them.

    I also tend to shut off my nameplates for other PCs on my end, unless they're in battle, and it irks me when I have to deal with crowds of people when I turn it on. Having it a different setting and color all together would make things wonderful!

    Yes, the size would be nice, but I think it would be super easy to code in a separate nameplate for FC members.

    Agreed. It'd be really helpful to identify FC members with a different color, or by having their names show up when other players' don't. (For players falling in more than one category, I'd prioritize the FC member settings above the Friend list settings, but below the party settings. So someone in all three categories would be shown in the party members' color, but someone who is both an FC mate and a Friend would show up in the FC color.)

    On a somewhat related note, I'd like to see the nameplate settings (for each category of player) to include whether to display their FC tag or not. While that can be useful for a new character on a new server who hasn't found an FC yet and is looking to join one, by the time I've joined an FC, I really have no interest anymore in what other FCs people are in. After that, the only thing I want to know about anyone's FC is are you in mine or not. Yet if we have nameplates showing at all, they currently all have to include the FC tag. It adds a lot of useless screen clutter. (Perhaps instead of a yes/no for whether to display it, it could be an Always/Never/Only for my FC setting.)
