Title: highlight friendlies carrying troops
Post by: Noir on April 18, 2013, 01:53:31 PM
I wish that the icons of friendlies carrying troops were different from other friendly icons, to facilitate team play. Same with ord maybe  :aok

If you know who is carrying troops you can use .wingman name to highlight their icon and dar dot.

Well it gets the cons off your 6 quick if you drag them to a goon.

I use alt-i as well, but people don't seem to realise you're a goon until you have a Brewster 400 of your 6 :) also people drag cons to goons because they can't know the friendly is a goon until its too late...

And yes I am vocally challenged

I know different dots would be great as well but icons would be a safe start

Alt-i works ok, but it could be useful when flying down the conga line to the enemy base with your strike fighter to be able to see if a goon/goons are inbound so you know if it's worth bringing your own after you die.

what if the mouse cursor could highlight a planes loadout?

Now we have highlighting a plane to see the pilots name. Ok we know players give each other info cross country. Maybe now someone will start tracking individual pilots to be able to up and fight them with help from one of those friends.

But, now those same sharers of info can track all of the troop goons in a country from point of origin to their destination. With a little help from their friends.

Currently when you hover the mouse on a dot it only gives: "Player ID"

Now you are asking for a unique Neon sign to please come kill me:

"Player ID"
"C47 - Troops"  


Oh Yes!! And those talkative Lil gerbils will be a chatterin all day and all night. Yeppers every C47 with troops on the map will be the best kept secret since fast food burger chains Secret Sauce.
