    One thing though.....


    As far as I know, the current team based game mode is a poor excuse of a hack. Shouldn't team based game modes get some love before this has too much work done on it?

    That was cool, one thing I'd like to see for pings is smart highlighting, you click highlight click on a unit or radar blip and it will become highlighted, this is a good way to make sure your teamates know what you want killed or a threat to be wary of.

    And it would have to be smart because if the vision of the target goes away and is replaced by radar the unit should still be highlighted, and if the radar drops out and back on again and the blip hasn't moved. (power troubles) the blip will still be highlighted unless it has moved.

    must have nau, also, make it that two animations play on pinging, the one indicating its pupose (look here, attack there) and the other whos it coming from, the second one you can choose in a list of animations and colors (as well as adding your own maby)

    If your playing in a team game. You can ping a position on the map so your teammate knows of a certain location of something you want him to look at.

    The sound for annihilation is awesome. Too awesome for a ping. It's a good reward when you manage to crash an asteroid. Damn awesome! In fact if you would have to chose just one sound to represent this game, you would likely chose that one.

    I'm afraid that using it for pings will ultimately make it like every other sounds. A little banal.

    Apart for that, the ping feature seems very useful.
