Red Beacon
« on: December 07, 1999, 01:25:00 AM »
HTC;

Is there a possibility of adding a warning horn (squeaking Betty) when you get a "Red Beacon".

If you are very heavy "In the toejam" you just don't notice that your beacon has gone red.  It is very discouraging to yourself and to your attacker to discover that after the fight is over you warped badly.  

In particular, after a good fight and you have won (for once,   but did you really?) only to be accosted later on the global channel.    

Shame and Glory, a warning horn might be the solution.

Thats a good idea...I want their icon to go yellow when their beacon does as well.

Both good ideas. I think this would help with my rubber bullit complaint as well. Ive nailed a plane, the next took all kind of hits ,nada. Then the next one went down as expected. It could be that the second guys connex was bad. If his icon went yellow. Id at least save the ammo. I should mention that ive never got a red becon, in spite of many dumps and game freeze ups. So I dont know if any of it really works.
