Cobqlt Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hi, can we have different colors on dynamic construct in PVP? By priority order: NQ Staff > Green (like actually) Transponder match, not a NQ Staff > Blue Transponder didn't match BUT pilot is in friendlist/orgs and not a NQ Staff > White Transponder didn't match, not in friendlist/orgs and not a NQ Staff > Red It's the first MMO where I can't clearly see my ennemies/allies, I take 2 minutes for color them on GIMP, with 5 minutes you can have a nice icon for sure. sleim22, Waffle Boy, Akroma and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to you we got a radar update. Cheer Metsys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazemonger Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Radar identifier could easily just be a colored inicator for whatever construct.. Adding a transponder woudl be nice, but generally woudl mean work NQ probably has no time/resources for. It would be much easier to use a standing system (set manually in the org list), with basic colors but also an option to set these to custom values (to support colorblind people!) RED - Hostile BLUE - Not Set GREEN - Friendly GRAY - No Owner DOT - dynamic SQUARE - static TRIANGLE - player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobqlt Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 I just wanna show how it could be easy to add this 4 icons, they already add the function to see your friends/orgs mate when you mouse over a core, they already add another color on icons for dynamic constructs with the green version of it and they show red and blue icons in a promotional video… Imho devs lost more time with the obstruction of radar than with this needed implementation. They can obviously dev something better than what I propose but I just want it, even if they use the simpliest one.

Endstar Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 How do you sort out a friend from a game design prospective? Pilots, ships, and orgs can all be intermixed. Pilots can get out of seat and trade with another pilot. Many many edge cases here. Makes sense to say friendly but how is that done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your friend starts lending ships to people who are unfriendly towards you then they are not your friend. blazemonger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like another game system or two would need to be added to simply color stuff. I very much want a FoE system just know it is much more than color changes.

Cobqlt Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 For now, without asking for dev' a better friendlist/contact who take care of orgs and co, we can just focus on a color link to the pilot. It's basic but that works without too much effort/time. But yeah, in the future we need a more developed system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazemonger Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 A friend or foe identifier of any kind always needs to relate to the pilot and/or org they are part of, not the construct. Cobqlt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
