Feedback and Suggestions / Mic "Radio" effects.

« on: June 05, 2014, 09:13:24 pm »

It is a minor nitpick, but sometimes it is difficult for captains such as myself to tell the difference between their own crew's normal communication and banter, and communications from allied captains. I would like to request one or both of the following to be implemented:

1). Other captains names appear in a different color when they use the Captain Chat key. That way a quick glance can discern that they do not belong to your crew. Inspired by Insurgency.

2). A slight audio filter applies a "radio static" effect over Captain Chat communications. This way captains can hear that the transmission does not come from within their crew. Inspired by the ACER mod for ArmA games.

Feedback and Suggestions / Allied Ship Nametags

« on: June 05, 2014, 09:06:54 pm »

It would be extremely convenient for intra-ship coordination to be able to see allied ship names. Many times in 3v3 and 4v4 matches I have heard the captain complaining that he did not know which of the three Squids we where flying with was which, and could not communicate effectively with his own team. Additionally, as a newbie captain, discerning ships can be difficult, especially if there is little time to get a spot.

May I suggest that allied ships with line-of-sight be given nametags, similar to spotted ships but without the bounding box. That will make shouting at the other captain or relaying tactical information much easer and faster.
