Mark messages in Crew color

(1/3) > >>

Karotte:
Hey,
it would be alot helpful if the messages in the upper left would be marked in your Crew/Ship color.

E.g. If your Ship/Crew kills a ship or destroys/repairs a component etc...

This way we could easier keep track of important messages.
TIA

Here is my input:

get rid of it.

Why should I, as captain of a ship - the center of knowledge, the tactician of the battle, know what happens to my ally halfway across the map based off some text in the top left corner.

That ally of mine should either press C and tell me or type "IM DISABLE BY HWATCHA"


I can see damn well when a Goldfish's Hwacha has been destroyed by one of my Artemis. So can the guy shooting it. If either of us can't - tough luck.

I am not saying that the text is distracting. I am saying it is unnecessary. Some people try to compare it to Rocket League's text. Same thing. I know when the ball was put in the center. I know when someone scored. It is unnecessary text - although it is not necessarily distracting. It is fine the way it is.

Dementio:
It can give you great input on how your ally is doing in his fight, for example, wether your ally has managed to destroy stuff on his opponent's ship. In competitive communication is key, but sometimes I manage to ask my ally if he needs help, before he is able to ask me to help him, because I read the text on the top left corner, which leads to quicker reaction and better teamwork.

Your ally may tell you that he is disabled by Hwacha, Artemis or Carronades, but I doubt he will tell you about every little thing that is happening on his side, because you would be required to do the same and it would flood the voice chat and nobody can concentrate on anything anymore.

Fynx:
It's far more input that you'll get from your ally in more than half of public matches. And I assure you, quite often you won't know if your artemis destroyed an engine or just damaged it. Or hull. Or balloon. Or even hwacha. And if you're the pilot you need to be flooded with that kind of information and you can't really expect that if you have three people in your crew, two out of them mute and all of them unsure about what's going on.

I think it would be nice to have messages about captains (or players in general) leaving (possibly disconnecting) there too. Upper case. Big upper case.
