Seeing the Ship Trails option in the settings, and the various engine colours, this relatively simple (on paper, at least) thought occurred to me-
Add a ‘Team Colours’ Ship Trails option. All it does is override racial/factional engine trail colours; all friendly ships would have Blue trails, and all enemy ships would have Red/Orange trails.
Nice idea.
Well, there is already a colored square around ships.
I think race trails is a great idea, because it helps you choosing your best target.
I agree witch Benache that the race trails are a better choice, since it help you quickly determine what type of ship your facing and thus choose your targets/your countermeasure systems.
This kinda goes with it color code the team’s mines would help.
This would make it unecessarily easy to differentiate friendly mines from enemy mines. Mines are a tactical weapon. If you colour them to suit the team you reduce their effectiveness by 70% or more
I guess your right

That’s why it’s an option suggestion not a replacement for existing trails. It would still default to racial trails for all ships, but if you wanted to then you could set it to team-colour trails - just as you can opt to disable ship trails.
yeah sure, an option is a good compromise.
agreed (as long as you keep my mines out of it >:o)
yeah my mine idea was dumb and I didn’t really think it out.

Hardly a compromise if making it an option was the whole idea in the first place.
