Thread: Radar needs more color differentiation

I think the colors of non-attackable ships needs to be changed.


I'm a Rebel pilot. Currently all TIEs on my radar are red even if I can't do any damage to them. (It goes brrrrp when I do) I understand these ships belong to some one else's missions and that's fine. But they should be a different color on the radar for a few reasons.


1. Say you're tooling around picking off random agro in the area.And you see a red dot a few klicks away and fly all the way over there just to find out it's not damagable,it can get frustrating.


2. You're running a duty mission and several others are also in the immediate area. The radar is clouded with red dots. But since they all belong to people's missions you can safely disregard them and concentrate on the ones with orange brackets. Then a random spawn occurs in this group and quickly begins to rip apart all the players in the area, because the new red dots blended into the false red dots already there.


I think the color of other player's mission targets on the radar should either be white for every one but the player and his group. Or a new color should be added (Green, Orange??) to differentiate between true agro(red) and false agro.


Thanks for listening.

On the radar, and in space, enemies related to your mission will be "boxed".

I know my mission stuff will be bracketed with orange bars. It's the random tier 3 guys that pop up, without brackets since they belong to no mission, that I'm talking about. There has to be a way to seperate agro that can kill me and agro that is part of another's mission(and can't kill me).
