xoyv Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 well, i just encountered nations mode for the first time, and needless to say it was a bit confusing a couple ideas that i ahd that could really help easy things in: -hud icons, similar to sec hud/cultist/rev icons, so you can see who is and isn't on your team -radio changes to nation radio, so communication can be easier -flag icon change, going from something that you don't know where that is a flag a person is carrying, to something more akin to regular CTF (attached to back, or something similar) just thought i'd throw these out there Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/1206-a-couple-ideas-for-nations-mode/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkPark Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 HUD icons will be greatly needed to identify who's friendly, together with some indications of what you are supposed to do exactly and how to behave when your flag is captured (do we recapture it? do we become allies with the nation who captured us?). A few minutes of non-flag capture at the beginning will also be nice. Like 5 minutes of people not being to catch any flag, just to organize stuff with your nation, prevents qq like what happened in today's nations round Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/1206-a-couple-ideas-for-nations-mode/#findComment-5857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streaky Haddock Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I think hud icons would prevent spying and stealth, which are both rather necessary for capturing some flags, and it's nice to see. However, I believe Ponies is planning to add in features that make it much clearer who is vassal to who, and what that means. THis is a game-mode very much WIP, and needs testing on a large audience as opposed to quietly testing on a private server.

Fj45 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Also, you cannot extinguish burning flags. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/1206-a-couple-ideas-for-nations-mode/#findComment-5878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrat Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Also, you cannot extinguish burning flags. I discovered this after hopelessly wasting an entire fire extinguisher on my beloved flag as the mime.
