New map images in lobby vote
« on: August 10, 2013, 07:18:39 am »
Just sayin...for new players. Need something to make it seem that certain maps are CP and others are DM, besides the name. Yes they could read the text and see the name is different, but I've seen for awhile now where newbies don't read, they go by the picture. If it looks like Dunes, they'll vote for it every time and then be totally confused when the find it is Scrap. So I dunno, maybe change the image to note the objective or maybe put red and blue CP balloons in the image to denote it is a CP map.

Small change but I think it would go a long way to keeping ships and crews from quitting...well, before they get stomped ;D.

Actually not just for new players


I often get caught out by Labyrinth and Desert Scrap.

Or just add a (DM) or (CP) behind the name of the map so it looks like:

Battle on the Dunes (DM)

Should be easy enough.

Yeah, something to distinguish between the different backgrounds would be great.

Got language barriers too. Image change would work better for that. Also for those that have slow PCs and don't get enough time to vote.

I swore the other day I had a match that said "Desert Scrap" but it was dunes =/. Someway to help clarify which map is a CP or not would be nice.
