Intel lines

I like to display intel lines.

But this only shows your own radar/etc coverage, not of your team mates. Is there a way (a mod?) to display combined team intel coverage?

Hm, would be actually useful... Via the game itself I am very sure it is not possible.

That would be very useful; but then also an option to disable viewing allies intel lines so you can still easily check your own coverage. (In my case: coverage that does not depend on a teammate's energy export.)

Good point, E8400-CV. The lines now are also displayed when power stalling, so it could actually only be reliable if the line is not there or changes when radar does not function.

If the UI isn't clunky, keeping tabs on ally vs my intel is great.

But in all honesty, I don't keep my intel up if my ally covers more than I normally as is...
So I personally don't really care about the distinction.

Furthermore, when you zoom in to the point you can't see the structure, the ring it casts is ignored anyway. So if you look at your buildings, you can easily already tell them apart.

Or just click'em all.


So again, if the UI isn't clunky, by all means make the ring another color or something. But I think there are current work arounds that suffice for telling your intel from an allies.

I personally keep pretty much all the rings on at all times... I would also like to see my allies rings for everything as well.

I dont think you want to feed other players UI to yours for obvious reasons.

The reasons aren't so obvious to me.
