• Contour lines would be nice.
• Smaller nanohive icons might be a good idea.They can be overbearing at times.
• Highlight players that are low on ammo.
• Highlight players that require repairs.
• Show players in your squad that are currently broadcasting on voice comms.
• Identify enemy squad leaders when actively scanned.
• Show a flashing cross-hair where an orbital stike is being deployed.
• New icons for vehicles showing class and what direction they are facing (BF3 do this well).
• Icons should slowly fade out from last known location rather than disappear.

• When an enemy fires a weapon nearby a red dot should pop up briefly on the map signifying their location but not what direction they are facing. This would be a "snapshot" as such, briefly showing where an enemy was and fading away until they fire again.
Silencers could be used on some weapons to mitigate the risk of detection from firing your weapon.

• Enemy swarm missiles should display on the map as incoming. Due to rendering issues it can be hard to see where they are coming from, the map would be a good help in this regard.

• Building outlines
• Topography
• Roads (better traction)
• Heat-mapping (Gunfire/kills)
• In-Theater Ownership/battlelines (who has last had a majority of mercs in the area)

• ranges on the minimap. ranges


• effective weapon range on the minimap (think EvE online's tactical overview


• other color for squad mates (purple could possible stand out) on the other hand instead of a different color maybe a different Icon can better distinguish squad members, an S maybe.


• Lgi players appear as an R


• option to make it bigger or smaller to show more of the area.


• An exclamation mark on players with low armor

• structure outlines
• Objectives (If you are up in the air they don't show up)
• A separate red-line for the ground and air boundaries -- say red for the ground, yellow for the air (for those that don't know, the map boundary is bigger in the air than on the ground, so you can land or drop off troops and be instantly out-of-bounds.
• Big - easy to read - N,S,E,W - (helps with orientation and when communicating to team mates)
• Some indication of areas that are too steep to climb -- perhaps some shading for cliff sides (can't land on them, can't drop passengers on them)

• Scan Anomaly Detection Skill - Increased chance to detect cloaked enemies, mines and explosives at close range.
• Scan Echo Analysis Skill - Increase time that scan results are displayed.
• Scan Accuracy Skill - Better chance to determine vehicle type. Unknown vehicle shows as ?
• Scan Jammer Equipment - For dropsuits and vehicles.
• Scan Jammer Proficiency Skill - Reduces scan profile of nearby units from enemy scans.
• Scan Jammer Coherence Skill - Increases range of Scan Jammer by 10% per level.
• Acoustic Scanner Equipment - Longer range but less accurate version of Active Scanner that relies on audio clues.
• Acoustic Scanner Fidelity Skill - More precise returns
• Acoustic Scanner Noice Cancelling Skill - Better range
• Target Scanner Equipment - Less range and accuracy than AS. Gives shorter lock-on timers and better target intel.
• Target Painter Equipment - A line of sight target scanner. Improved targetting bonus but can't scan through obstacles.
• Target Painting Skill - Decrease lock-on timers for scanned targets by 3% for TS, 5% for TP
• Scan Disruptor Equipment - Vehicle equipment that masks vehicle type and increases lock-on timers for enemies.
• Scan Disruptor Field Coherence - Lvl1 protects just your vehicle, each additional lvl adds 5m range. A logi-centric item.

• Might be cool if Flux Grenades greyed out bubbles of the mini-map for a second or two as they interfere with sanning.
• As another poster pointed out, would be nice to have KIA friendlies turn to grey and fade away to give an indication of kill-zones and crumbling flanks.

• Mini-maps should be different for drop suits and for vehicles.
• Basic mini-maps should have all the capabilities needed to do the job the suit or vehicle is supposed to do.
• GÇ£ScanningGÇ¥ modules should add role-specific enhancements to the mini-map, not add capabilities. The reasoning is that anyone should be able to play any role at some basic level then have the ability to specialize in it if they find they like it.
• Different vehicle types (LAV, HAV, Aircraft) should have vehicle specific mini-maps designed to enable the role of the vehicle.
• Specialized suits should enhance the capabilities of their corresponding specialized modules. The reasoning is that the suits represent increased player effectiveness and the modules are the way the player chooses a particular functional capability. Suit enhancements would stack with module enhancements and in the case of vehicle and weapon modules, with the higher skill bonuses to provide significant boosts in increasingly narrow ranges. Limitation on the number of modules fitted would provide a core means of balance.
