I’d like two more capturable base types without base icons, having only the maproom dots. Ownership display would be by color of the dot and players GUI setting.

This would reduce icon clutter on the clipboard maps such as bob04 and karelia where things like radar bases and close base layout hide the underling map.  Of course it would be best but not necessary, if these bases could have a separate clipboard map display flag which if implemented would also allow toggling of the altitude display. But again, not necessary.

The first base could be the old depot which currently causes a reverse capture problem as well as not being sanctioned by htc.

The second base type would be a village type (icon T##?) which would be a cross between a town and a V-base.

My goal would be to have ground bases at distances similar to karelia but without the clipboard clutter experienced when the map wasn’t zoomed.

Movement with these new types without icons would require a clipboard click on the maproom or knowing the base numbers ahead of time for dot moves and it would be a little more work for CMs tracking damage, assigning targets etc.

Thanks
Easy in-game again.
