visual audible duplication

Jun 04, 2006 TRS link
sometimes I like to play with sound turned off. Can we add visiual indicators for certian audible indicators.

When you hit a target. Mabey a small plus sign flashes next to the weapon symbol listed in your ships equipment display.

Proximity detector could flash somewhere in the distance indicator and/or highlight the object on the radar/screen that triggered the alert.

did i miss any?

I like this idea. I think it makes sense in general too; if something is important enough to warrant a *beep*, then an additional visual cue would help perception and identification.

in planetside (a MMOFPS), you get a useful little orange circle that flashes around the crosshair when you hit someone. Its quite useful actually. Maybe something similar would work here...

Yes, for Proximity alert, missile lock-on, and whether you hit someone. We already flash red when WE get hit.
