About 4 years ago I suggested this in WitP forum:
Vectors (again, I know... I know...) map overlay over sighted TFs...
Then, about 3 years ago, I suggested this for Bodhi’s most excellent utility and he got it in his never released BETA (I think) – unfortunately it was never released to public:
Bodhi: My (old) idea for your most excellent WitP utility!
This is original thread:
What about new addition that would draw vector (line with arrow) over every enemy spotted TF?
That vector would have the following attributes:
#1
The vector's thickness would depend on how many enemy ships were sighted in certain TF.
#2
The vector's length would depend on speed the enemy ships that were sighted in certain TF.
#3
The vector's orientation would depend on course the enemy ships that were sighted in certain TF.
Using this the player would be able to very easily grasp picture of enemy movement (of TFs that were sighted) and this would help tremendously in situation awareness!
Since picture(s) tell more than 1000 words here is what I had in mind... [;)]
Here is what Allied player would see when he discovers enemy TFs:
And now here is what Allied player would see with vectors:
NOTE: New info is presented with yellow vectors.
IMHO, it is clear that this gives 100x more information at glance!
