I've put some of this in other people's threads trying to help their cause but I also wanted to put it here in this thread here because it is important that Logi's get this information.....
First and Foremost on the downed player there should be a clearly VISIBLE bleed out timer whether it is simply just counting down seconds or just showing a little RED bar slowly draining on his screen. Why is this important, if a person is on the other side of the map and he wishes to save his teammate while crossing a battlefield, and if he and his comrade who is down know roughly how much time he has to live before having to respawn or is possible to pick up then that logi friend may put the effort into actually getting there... we all know that once PC hits those clones will be utterly expensive if buying the Packs. This bleed out timer should also hover over the body for Logi's to see (they are connected to TACNET are they not?)
2nd. there should be a distance to downed teammates this should show for all downed teammates not just for squad mates and with the distance it should also show elevation from current plane that the Logi is on this will allow the logi to know if he has to climb a set of stairs well before arriving saving valuable time or if he has to jump over a ridge to get this fallen comrade because he is on the other side of the wall at a base of stairs.
3rd. the distance shown to the logi's should also be available to the downed teammate... if the closest person with a needle is 150m away and he only has 5 seconds in his bleed out timer bleeding out would be faster way to return to the battle as the logi wouldn't be able to make it unless in a vehicle
4th. this has to deal with the upcoming rerelease of Scanners, drop suit scan profile and drop suit scan precision need to reflect skills and modules present on a given drop suit fitting.
5th. it would also be nice to know the weapon capacity of Teammates if you are carrying nanohives... teammates are full, won't waste a Nano hive deploying one to full teammates or a teammate has less than 25% ammo looks like the perfect opportunity to fill him with ammo before he dashes out to break through the enemy lines. this would appear as an icon next to the ally it would show 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 0% and no in-between, so 100% would cover 85% to 100, 75% would be 60 to 85%, 50% would be 35% to 60%, and 25% would cover 10% to 35% and 0 would below 10% ammo probably easiest way to show it would be maybe have 4 squares in the box lines won't work only because they can become hard to distinguish at long distances from the TV
Edit: feel free to add your ideas to information that would greatly improve Logi performance on the field... please do assume that not everyone has a mic for whatever reason they may have |
