Before LoR patch you could click on a person in the team interface to target them for healing ect..., but since the patch you can't. I know you can use the F1 through F5 keys, but I find it easier to click on someone I see taking damage and healing them rather than having to hit the F keys.
I have the same problem. I always click the icon to target teammates, never hit the keys. Otherwise I end up hitting the wrong key and it takes longer to target the right person.
Ah finally I find other people with the same issue. I can't heal effectively anymore. It was already hard enough for emergency heals, because there was no way to very quickly select people that had damage.
Why is it you can set all these options for auto-attack, e.g. you auto-select an enemy that targets you or threatens you but there is no options to auto-select friendlies with hitpoints down to 50%?
It is all based on combat. But As a science captain we have a different role. Yes we fire at enemies too, but when the fight is tough, especially on ground, we need to be able to select quicker.
Anyway, this needs to be repaired quickly otherwise science captains will not bother to heal anyone anymore. And most science captains didn't do that anyway. They rather fire at the enemies then do their actual job.
I play a Tact and usually on a Cruiser, so many times I am quite able to use buffs on others rather than on myself and I have the same issue as you guys. Clicking on the team will not work, so I find myself moving the camera around looking for the people in trouble, which sometimes ends up bad because those seconds matter.
Just the other day a fellow team member "died" because of that. He/she manged to get away from the 10km of the borg but the plasma DoT took him/her out before I could use HE on him/her
OK, sure, it's just a game, people don't die, but I still try to RP it the best I can.
This an unacceptable bug, when doing an ESTF, worse if it's a Hive run. Please fix this flaw, asap please. This one really hurts team play, for certain.

btw workaround is rightclicking on a member in the team interface, but this is not so nice since there is a rightclick menu open then.
