Suggestion: reduce weapon ranges!

and anything else to do with combat

from Sins Forums

I like the "idea" of commanding your fleet from a distance with all the icons and being able to zoom in to see the action up close but...

Half the time the weapon ranges are so long that you can't see anything except the ship you're focusing on and a bunch of icons.  Look!  Theres a dot!  wait its getting bigger, I think its a ship!  Its at least 10pixels big now! Its definetly a ship, its shooting at me!"

To make combat more fun to watch up close, I think (just my opinion) all weapon, ability, and sheild ranges need to be reduced...  by at least a quarter.  Maybe cut them in half.

Excellent game regardless.

@Teal:

Yeah, if you could upload that mod, it would be appreciated!  I'd love to give it a shot.  How are the kids doing?  The 2yr old is awesome.  Generally well behaved and too smart for our own good.  The newborn sleeps really wel...  in the daytime.  Why, oh WHY can't she sleep at night?!!?!?!

@mja5000:

Yeah, I've been thinking about the monitor thing...  right now I have my machine hooked up to my 37" 720p TV and my Home Theatre system for sound.  Good size screen but 1280x720 = not so hot.  When I get my Christmas bonus I'm building a new gaming rig...  if the bonus is REALLY good, maybe I'll pick up a 42" 1080p TV as well.  Get a second monitor?  Maybe 24"?  Now where could I put one...  :\

Thanks

Okie,

                Uploaded CloseUp Drop by Half and CloseUp Drop by Third to FileFront at this url address:

 

http://files.filefront.com/Close+Up+Drop+Halfzip/;12391100;/fileinfo.html

and

http://files.filefront.com/Close+Up+Drop+Thirdzip/;12391112;/fileinfo.html

I included a Tech Mobile Defense that also doubles as a Constructor in case you need to build a lot, they will speed things up a bit.

Hope you like it, let me know, I found the third to my liking best, but your preferences may be different, hope it helps with the visual problem in the well.

Take care and see you in the forum,

-Teal
