Fleet Actions need a map pointer

Ok, when the guy in charge of the fleet action hails you and sayd "There's a bunch of (ship type) mustering over near the asteroids," there needs to be a pointer or Nav Beacon on your map to tell you where to find them. It's called sending a fly to point and it's standard practice today.

I've done three FAs recently and haven't been able to find where the heck the bad guys are to match the mission objectives.

    Press M, look for the circled area.

    They are in there. Those flashing Nav Beacons aren't just there for decoration.

    I drive to the flashing and run around in the circled area on the map. I either don't find the particular brand of bad guy, but do find the things I've been fighting for 20 minutes. I'm thinking of the Gorn FA the most. "Over by the asteroids" covers a lot of area on that map. I finally did find the battleships, but by then folks had moved on to THE dreadnought. I just want a blinking fly to point on the map that I press M to see. Case closed. Fly to the blinking symbol on your map and you are in the right spot. Not detective work like it is now.
