Like instead of asking people what they are, say AI Max or AA Max or Rexo medic, you could just look at the platoon gui and see that "Oh this guy is currently in a AI Max, I'll tell him to go guard the door" or "Oh this guy is currently an adv medic, I'll tell him to go resurrect the dead at the lobby".
One add-on of merely knowing what your team mates are capable of right off the bat can allow to work as a team better instead of having to organise who can do what before you enter the battle.
Another example of a good add-on is improving the map ui by quartering the map a little making a border say at the bottom left which would allow you to place all the little boxes like the chat box and incentives box which only serve to get in your way every time you want to switch to intersellar view.
By giving the ability to allow the player to present data to themselves in a more easy to read manner you can make playing more streamline. Again look at WoW's add-on database, because you can play that game just fine without add-ons but when you do get add-ons things just become a hell of a lot more easier to read and respond to.
