Display friendly ships option?
sparklerfish:
I'm in favor of this, especially since spotting doesn't always work very well. There are times when ships are seemingly just NEAR a cloud, extremely visible, not shrouded at all, and I can't spot them, so I assume they're friendly (especially because the lighting often makes it impossible to tell the difference between red and blue flags). I mean, I guess there's the map, but when things are hectic it would be cool to just be able to directly look at the ship and know it's friendly rather than spamclicking with spyglass equipped until the spot finally works (or doesn't).
Also, I have an impaired ability to mentally spatially rotate things, so I can have a hard time using the map to tell if I'm pointed at a friendly or an enemy. Even harder if there are two ships in close proximity.
SaintR.L.:
A very nice idea. Too often I find my fellow captain shooting at me when they mistake my ship for the enemy. It would also be nice to be able to see your teammates outline through terrain just like you can see spots through terrain.
Omniraptor:
The solution is simply to make the flags more saturated, it's a simple palette fix, no need to implement new mechanics.
On the other hand, confusion and chaos are part of the fun :P
Ruairi:
I'm all for confusion... :P hehe... So going against the flow of things, if something like this were to be implemented I'd still have white boxes/writing for everything spotted. You should know the name of your ally ship and it is also a quick 2 second confirmation. :/
pandatopia:
Why not have green boxes for allies, and red markers for enemies?
I think those are pretty universal friendly/enemy colors, and no newbie is going to get that confused.
Esp with how ridiculous these new ship paints are - so many people paint blue team ships with a red balloon, and vice versa - and lets be honest the balloon is usually a lot more prominent than the pennants they fly.
