i thought the size or shade indicated the height of the bad guy--dark red low--light red high  as long as you have radar????

Perhaps the enemy dot could appear purple for below 10K,, red, for 10k to 20k, and pink for 20k and above   :D

I think you're implying something, particularly with the purple and pink color choices  :devil

not entirely against the idea.. but i dont think it should be 100% accurate


but this would increase rate of suicide r-dar porkers massively

but i like the idea...as long as there is still a "guess" at it..

No, I was thinking of the *sector* bar indicator giving such a clue, in the same way it roughly clues you into numbers of enemy in that sector. Sorry if I was unclear.

well with the ability for players to change the icon colors for enemy and friendly,,it might be diffecult to id badd guy icons low or high if different colors are used to id them. i don't know maybe somebody can think of something to use.

I'd rather see dot size, bigger the lower they are, then I know 'TARGETS HERE!' ;)

Or alternately:
below 10k dot
10-20k a line through the dot -
20+k, a + sign instead of a dot.

Good for us colorblind folks too. ;)

I'm really torn on this because on one hand, dar has some kind of indication of altitude, on the other hand it could easily create a world of running altmonkeys, which I would not like.
