duel colours

Jan 28, 2009 davejohn link
Players engaged in a duel appear red to everyone in range . Not really a problem for vets who look at the movement on radar and realise that a duel is in progress , but maybe confusing for newer players who see a potential target change from green to red . Perhaps if duelists were denoted by a different colour the confusion would not arise .

If its easy very to change this fair enough , if not don't worry . Certainly not something to spend a lot of time messing about with.

It's not super trivial, but it is a long-standing request/idea. We will do this.

I love this idea.

Make them Blue! A little colour can't hurt.

I added a ticket with "light blue" as the suggested color, a few hours ago. Dunno when we'll get to it, though.

I don't think the color blue or yellow should be used, they are Itani and UIT colors. You wouldn't want people confused.

I think any other color would be good though. What about orange or purple?

Pft.
Orange or purple? Think big! Think translucent black (Or Pink. Whatever floats your boat.)

uhh, in case you didn't notice, the itani colors don't appear on the nav radar.
And it's not often that newbs would find people duelling in their home system, let alone their sector. Most vets would go to an empty sector to duel.

And it's not a problem to answer these questions in [1].

Orange might work too. It's an awesome colour.

i know nations colors don't show up on radar. But i think those colors should be reserved anyway. I still think this is a great idea just don't add the color blue or yellow. there are billions of colors just pick one that is not close to ones used now or close to a nation color.

Uhh, Inc: What is a ticket?
What are they used for?
How do I use them?

Tickets are for the TRAC system used to track development.
You cannot use them currently, as you cannot see them yet.

It's a moot point now, since they've already added the change to the production server. That was a matter of a few days.

Yes, it is done. Cyan (light blue) shall be the color of duelers and the color of the duelers shall be cyan.

I way it for the first time its the same color as the wh :(

But wormholes have a distinctive shape and do not move around so much. I say keep the colour cyan.

i say make it a color that we dont normally see on our radar. orange?
not sure why, but vo seems to have blue everywhere ...

I vote we make them black, completely revoking my previous opinion.
