Hey, is there a way we can get an option to force on strategic icons at all zoom levels soon? its kinda annoying that i have to now stay in a very select distance from the planet in order to see them =/
Yup with you on that one 100% Or be able to customize the min max distance maybe further into the future.
Yeah for sure. I think the orbital switch should be on a button toggle to hide the units and show orbitals.
It's cool to have a view that shows only orbital stuff as strategic icons, but maybe it would be handy to introduce layers for the strategic icons that can be turned on/off. So I could hide all my ground stuff to find my orbital units and also can activate it afterwards to see the ground units again. But currently it is very complicated to play with the strategic icons, as you can us it in only a few zoom levels.
I find that currently icon dissapear too early when zooming in and too early when zooming out. I'd like to keep them on like 4 zoom levels closer that currently and 5 or 6 zoom levels furtehr when zooming out. or a toggle switch but the levels above would probably work well for me
Added to Unofficial "Official" GUI Discussion Thread!!! https://forums.uberent.com/threads/unofficial-official-gui-discussion-thread.52055/ [SUGGESTION] Strategic Icons ~ Toggle for "Always render strategic icons" (even at non-Strategic zoom). Let's keep the GUI suggestions and feedback coming guys! I'm compiling them as fast as you guys are making then. Getting so many ideas for my next mock-up.
cola colin, I think that the more GUI functionality we can figure out early, the more Uber will be able to build into the final game. Keep brainstorming while you're playing!!!
Also since Uber seems to want an icon free clean look at some levels of zoom, maybe the signs for North and South pole should dissappear at the same time as the strategic icons. But please as I said above, just make sure we see those icons closer and much further to the ground than currently.
If the disappearance of strategic icons at "high" altitude is to allow for a better visibility of the orbital icons, maybe the zoom out should happen in two motions, where you'd need an additional flick of the mousewheel to get into orbital icon view. Just thinking out loud really.
Something like this. I think the strategic icons should be visible at all zoom levels, but at the furthest zoom level they toggle off and only orbital shows. In fact, at the furthest zoom level the selection box should default to only picking up orbital units and nothing on the planet.
And how do you interact orbitals with the ground level when you can't see them anymore? (They instead should give a projection of the orbital on the ground, ie. show their icon there. Or remove orbitals, my prefered solution.)
Yes thats could work good. Personaly i dont want to toggle layers of icons on and off. this can move your attention away from what is going on on the battlefield. btw the missing icons at some zoomlevel are something like a bug - it has been better in alpha for example. i´m sure we will be able to have the icons on all the time in the future. (maybe the icons will get a little smaller and less overlapping, ... please... )
