He codes it in less time than it takes me to do a mockup.   Also, great idea to show town status in the tooltip pop up.  Very important info to know!

Looks very cool.  What does a radar that's down look like?

Red circle instead of black.

Also the Field Numbers fade out as you zoom out the map when they would start drawing over each other.

There was also a bug fix that was making the icons displaying 1.75 times larger on line then off line. The offline size was the correct size.

Hmm

Could you make those circles brighter, instead of darker?

Just installed Patch #16.
Clipboard looks really nice.  Easier to read.

Agreed.  This is a thousand times better.  Only thing I would tweak is possibly lightening them by 5 or 10 percent.  But a GREAT improvement.

Was just online and people are sure talking about the change to radar!  Some like it and some don't <shrug>.  One even thinks the clipboard map looks more cluttered now.  :O

The popup field info box works well, and with the fieldnames fading out now I find I'm spending more time with the map zoomed out - I'm getting the big picture of what's going on in game across the whole map.

On my in-game screen, the shading appears darker than the screenshot you've posted.   I'm running default graphics options with gamma at defautl (1.0?) I think the lighter shading in your screenshot looks better. 

Is there any way to make the shaded circles not additive?  One concern I heard is when the radar coverage from two adjacent bases overlap, if both have radar out (shading=red), the additive nature of the shading makes it harder to see the red dar bars against the shaded area.

POTW had generally the same response tonight, dark areas are too dark, oboe's original sea through blue would be better. And destroyed dar would work better as a red ring with no color fill. The map just got too dark overall due to the density of radar overlap and was almost unreadable and my gamma is 1.5. How the fonts and icons work when zooming is great.

red ring or  nothing at all   that way looking at the map you can see a path through the radar because it is light.   

the red is confusing with the red sector counter.

The issue with no dar ring at all is that you can't see the "flash-the-base" boundary.
