Flying around workaround

(1/5) > >>

Hoja Lateralus:
There are some maps where many times people can just float around not meeting each other for a long time. Many times people annoyed with this just say on match chat "We're on B3, come one", although this doesn't work all the time because some people are trolling, others try to put enemy team into a trap and some just don't believe.

So my solution would be a set timer (like a minute) after which the game would show us the general direction of the enemy on the compass (and only on the compass). It can be as vague as basic direction like North, North-West etc.

Possible problem could be limiting sealth play, so perhaps after set time there could be a vote for captains. If more than 50% (or whatever) captains agree then directions would be revealed.

There are also some technical issues that need to be adressed (what if in 3v3 map 2 ships are together and other is on the other side of the map? show "the average" direction? Or show two directions for each group of ships?) but overall I think this is a good idea.

BlackenedPies:
Here's an idea. I always thought the birds should play a minor role in indicating where ships are. After a certain time of no spots (ex 6 mins), the birds start subtly flying to and from the direction of ships. Tutorial text and the tip box in crew form could give a hint like if you're looking for the enemy watch for the birds.

Daft Loon:
Ive had an idea for a while that the weather could conveniently change:
-Track a 'score' that slowly decays over time
-Spots increase the score slightly
-Hits increase the score significantly
-As the score drops further below a threshold the cloud cover becomes thinner and thinner

It could be exploitable but mostly those situations are bad already ex- one team wins by cloudless sniping or the same team wins by gradual attrition just slower because of the clouds.

DrTentacles:
I'd prefer not. I've waited for ambushes for great periods of time. This would also hose VIP mode.

BlackenedPies:
Not spotting for 5 or so minutes is more than enough to position. Taking longer is wasting time and the match needs to move along.
