Title: Sneaky night map thought?
Post by: Grayknight on June 26, 2013, 02:46:42 pm: Not sure if this has been posted before, but a night map would make for some awesome firefights. The addition of a star-shell style ammo for flak guns, or just lesmok flares, on a big open map like Dunes would be really neat (and would play into my long-term goal of a short film setting a silent film to the music of Holst's Mars from The Planets Suite :P).

Yes.

You'd have to do it the old-fashioned way and those letter-number grid points would actually be useful.

I've got it! Glow-in-the-dark ammo for paintball guns as a new weapon!

Or, if nothing else, lighting other ships on fire would be useful since you could see them :)

Title: Re: Sneaky night map thought?
Post by: shadowsteel on June 26, 2013, 06:02:19 pm: So this would be a kinda hardcore map.

1) Allies do not appear on Map.
2) Spotting is off.
3) Damage log would be off as well, only showing kills.

"Uhh... My spyglass isn't working."

"You bet your default costume it isn't! Now go make yourself useful; get on that flamer and spot 'em the old fashioned way!"
