Now that platforms,AI, trannies, and players all appear in the F2 ship list there doesn't seem to be enough room often to fit all the ships (with AI unfiltered of course). This makes it sometimes difficult to see what actual combat AI ships are in existance due to the list being populated by platforms and trannies with not enough room to fit all the AI ships.
Would it be possible to perhaps add a third column so that all ships can be seen in F2? Or maybe put platforms and AI trannies in their own category( so that they can be filtered) or in a seperate list adjacent to the main list?

Just pointing this out in case you missed it. There is a button on the bottom of the F2 to blend out the ai tags on the maps list, so it shows only players.
After all, why would you look for ai on the f2 when there is players to pew pew instead, right? 
EDIT: But i agree that a third column would be good, since we got bigger fights now again which easily fill the 2 bars up by only showing players.

Yeah, I can see that being a problem. For some reason, AI transports and platforms seem to get top priority (or that's what it feels like, anyway), so they occupy all of the available space on the F2 map's ship summaries when what you're looking for are AI warships and your fellow players.

While the number is about fine to me i would consider adding some more lenght to the boxes.
I find it really annoying to find one person that is in a clan when there are multiple people of that clan online.
E.g.
finding "[=ICC=]deathblave" when the box will only show, "[=ICC=]" meaning i will have to hover my mouse over the box before i know if it is him.
But having a sort of order system would be nice as well.
Maybe list them from bottom to top by the User ID?
This way you will always find that person around the same place of the list.
just thinking aloud.

He means he wants to command some combat ai like the dread, some cruiser and dessies ect.
So atm you see only plats and trannies, no combat ai or player allies if ai is toggled on

I think AI resource transports and plats should not be displayed in ship list.
Anyway, bar width is too narrow for long name players.

Yes but so do all the AI ships you can command- so its not a solution. The F2 friendly list with AI unfiltered is pretty much worthless at this time.
