    Many RTS games have the ability to make a beacon that will mark the map, make a noise, and even have a progressive targeting reticule that zooms in to get everyone's attention.

    This beacon should have the ability to lock on to a unit, and follow that unit until it disappears in to the fog of war (which includes radar jamming coverage).

    It would be a convenient way to tell your teammates to "attack this specific unit" and allow them to easily target it from the minimap.

    However, this "tracking" part of this feature could be too cheesy. At least regular beacons/markers should definitely be present in the game.

    What does everyone think?
