Showing the Area of Effect

posted on April 9th, 2009, 3:50 am

Is it possible that we will ever get some sort of "circle-thingy" on screen that will show us the radius of effect of a special weapon when we click to use it (similar to the one we get when we keep our cursor hovering over sensors or weapons)? This would be a heck of a lot nicer than simply guessing whether ships are in range and aid in fleet spacing to avoid area of effect weapons etc

Good idea that would help a ton!  :thumbsup:

yea, i had that feature in an internal build along with the weapons and sensor radius, but it showed just crap for most of the special weapons (due to how armada's internals work) so i left that out and put a todo up for that...
i'd like to have it work like that: you can have a group of vessels selected, you hover one of the special weapon buttons and see all vessels that use that weapon along with the radius shown around them

....as well as the radius of the actual weapon are of effect as well, right 

Hopefully you guys will figure out a way to make it work elegantly
