Ripped straight off from LoL, but would solve a lot of annoyance that deals with spinning aura icons.

Basically, if there IS an effect affecting your ship, then you get a single icon. Mouse over it and a quick info window pops up detailing what effect it is. For example, yugioh is Spatzz's teammate. yugioh pops into galaxy with his Carrier and FC20 aura.

Spatzz sees the FC20 aura effect icon(the whole aura is one icon), mouses over, and notes that it is the Fc20 aura and not an UDP.

gah....
*sighs* Well, no use in not ripping into this one.

Now, my comment on your idea:

That's illogical and overpowered. They shouldn't be given info on one of the items that is inside the hull. That's what shipscanners are for. I know you can't tell which items are equiped, but giving someone one of the items in your hull... kinda infringes on shipscanners... just a little, but still.

Should never get info on what the enemy is using through carebear mechanics.

You should be able to ask what your allies are doing.

I never said it'd give info on stuff inside of a ship's hull, you dolt. I said, a player will be able to see individual auras, and what the effect of the aura is on the player.

Take Spatzz. He is affected by Commander's Bodacious Bravado(Ally), Gamma Emitter(enemy), and Visionary Sight(Ally), and he has his Capital Travel Field 6 on.

He'll see 4 Icons. One for each Aura. If he mouses over the icon that represents the FC aura, he'll see "+36% Damage" in the info box. If he moves over to see the Visionary Sight icon, the box changes to +540% Radar, +20% Range.

Aside from what is affecting him, Spatzz knows nothing about the Auras, what their range is, where the player is, etc.



But the point of the suggestion is to remove the annoying effect icons when auras affect you or other ships. Have you ever been on a run with a supportive engineer and or FC?

So? I'll know whats in their hull if there was no icon to tell me. I can tell when suddenly my shield regen is reduced by 400 when a dread pops in. It's OBVIOUS that it is a FC with a Gamma Emitter.

But as I said, have you been in places where theres tons of aura clutter? DG's have fucktons of clutter if you run into the resist aura.

Yellow hit it right on the nail.

Y E S please

I agree with the suggestion, though it's not one of the easiest to implement since it requires both new UI and a bunch of data that the client currently doesn't have.

Perfect.

yes, i like it, would clean things up which is always nice.
