New names under spots

Letus:
It's both kinda cool, but kind of pointless.
Maybe when we get full ship customization, it would make sense, but as of now, it's rather "meh" to me.

I can see how people like it for when against a all pyramidion team or something, figuring out which team is the more threatening, but those were always easy to figure out early in the game, if you knew what you were looking for.  Ram happy pyramidion?  Probably not your big threat, just pot him off a bit and focus on the guy who looks like he knows what he's doing.


And what will happen when all the level 10's name their ship the same name as the level 1's?  Same problem that people are arguing for why this feature should exist....
We should all name our ships Pyramidion, Goldfish, Squid....just to throw that argument off.  "Go for the Pyramidion!"  "Which Pyramidion?"  "The Pyramidion named Pyramidion!"  "But they're both called Pyramidion!"

..."Cut the blue wire Bob!"  "BUT I'M COLOURBLIND!"

Nidh:
I can't even understand your argument. How is seeing a name dumbing down the game? Aren't the name's of ships usually painted visibly on the side? The font is not even that big. What about not knowing the name of a ship makes it harder? There is no difference discerning the priority  of  a target whether you know it's name or not. If you think seeing the name of the ship makes things easier than I think there's something wrong with the way you select your target.

Sammy B. T.:
Until we can do cosmetic changes to our ships, I really like it. I like that if I am playing with an allied Junker, my enemy knows which one will be delivering their doom. Calling out coordination based on ship name and not class makes it easier to immerse myself in the game. I'm not just saying the Galleon is the threat, I am not saying the Lucky Duck is the threat and so on.

I would say they need to turn it off for spectate. Otherwise we get the name above and below if we are looking in health bar mode.

Gambrill:
Maybe Muse could have the option as a tool in options that you can select or deselect as you wished?
Would that be enough to settle the rage in your heart? ;)

Pickle:
It is dumbing down, turning it into an arcade game.  The screen used to be nice and clean, now it's starting to resemble the HUD of an F-16.  Not the low tech airship environment at all.

Put the names in the map or make them only visible when using a telescope, rather than create a HUD that's moving away from the low tech feel and aesthetic of the game.  It would be more useful in 3v3 to have your own team's ship names showing on the map.
