Geoscape- Iconic indication of UFO numbers + size

[kefeinzel]

Since our radar can identify the number and sizes of UFO's, it would be nice to have some sort of graphic indication for when multiple flights start appearing so they can be easily visually distinguished at a glance rather than having to hunt through and click all the generic UFO icons.

Discuss!

I was hoping that the Xenonaut equivalent of the Hyperwave Decoder would provide some of this information, if it makes it into the game.

[GizmoGomez]

It will. (I don't actually know it for sure, but it will. )

[thothkins]

that was very decisive, yet in a indecisive sort of way

[kefeinzel]

why would the hyperwave decoder need to do it, the UI with the radar already tells you the number and sizes of ships, lol

[thothkins]

sure, but I was thinking of specific craft type (yes radar should be able to do that too, but games vary) and mission type etc.

He's not asking for more information, but an Icon adjustment. Which would be very helpful actually. It's always annoying in waves picking out which number aligns with which UFO group/size.

Three small red triangles for fighter flights, scaling size triangles for single UFOs, trailing Triangles for escorts, etc.

It's too bad this forum isn't really noticed much.

[Mordobb]

Very good idea.

[thothkins]

It's too bad this forum isn't really noticed much.

you mean the suggestions forum or just this thread?

[svidangel]

The forum.

If you want it noticed, you pretty much need to work it into a Beta thread.

[thothkins]

Then really the suggestions part should be closed and everyone redirected there.

Or the beta part is opened out. But there's no point in having a place where good ideas are missed.

Agree thotkins
