New names under spots

<< < (4/9) > >>

Serenum:
I hate to agree but names should only be visible on the map (where they are really needed for allies too), no more hud junk please.

Calico Jack:
When I saw this in the Dev app I suggested that it  be made visible through the spy glass alone.

Plasmarobo:
I also think this has at most a minor effect on game play, but I do hate the UI clutter. Plus there was a certain charm to the moment of panic when, playing two of the same ship, you had to figure out which was more damaged.

I'll live with the changes, but I sort of honestly feel that more UI = terrible for this game. I like the compass and map, I don't think you should ever need more than that to play effectively. Minor cosmetic changes to ships would be pretty cool. Faction banners or something. Then you could call out targets based on that. I just think the name makes it feel less organic and authentic, rather than being a significant factor in balance.

Queso:
This is a change that serves to help new players. This game has a learning curve that, while not that bad, could use some help. Not having the name adds a tiny bit of depth in the situation of two ships of the same class, but it's not huge. The clean UI concerns I understand a little more, and an option to toggle the names wouldn't go unappreciated, but is it really worth all this commotion? In a more authentic setting, the name would be plastered onto the side of the ship anyways.

Captain Smollett:
Solution - Plaster ship names on the side

Now how cool would that be
