abstract orbit
If you ping an unit in map view you can see its position in FPS view. On the one side it is nice, on the other side it is very cheesy, because you can snipe that unit from long distance without seeing it. Maybe give map pings another color and reveal only x,y coordinates or just show them only on the map. E.g. see attached picture: A player pinged a colossus just righter after being spawned. He very probably didnt see that unit in line of sight but shot only to the pinged position:

Lowkey only way to see smaller units half the time
Ill use map pings to note down locations of stuff before i do bombing runs and other stuff

Issue is things like the railgun being able to actually hit something from 2km away
Weapon ranges are pretty inconsistent it feels

Railgun is turning its shot long range, but heavysmoke is a skilled player.

but true, maybe it isnt that bad. Probably something that needs to be evaluated over time

The maps having open sight lines causes alot of issues too
Like a few maps have almost 0 cover whatsoever
And you can fire across them

yes, that is in particular bad for aliens, and in particular good for railtanks

I was having all our air vehicles spawn killed when they got made on one map from over 1700 away because a railtank got onto a hill and could fire freely into our starting base

yeah, but that rail probably marked air on the map first

This seems more of a problem with Rail tank and Colo than map pinging. Aliens need Colo cause they can't depend on the rest of their roster. The rest of their roster has a much easier time not getting sniped at 2 km

I mean it is some kind of a wallhack if you can ping and see stuff mules away

I agree with Gromko, the pinging is not a problem, but the effective projectile range.

Haven't you heard? No more feet! Now we use animals! XD

maybe Lucho is a spy for centauri 😄

stuff like the rocket truck, and a number of vehichles have way too much range that let them snipe hqs in the player hands it gets a bit crazy
but the other issue is map design having such open sight lanes mainly on the smaller ones that let you fire across them

No need! Centauri forever!!

Maybe reducing the damage of rails for longer ranges drastically
yeah but 2km range for rail is a bit much.

Maybe reducing the damage of rails for longer ranges drastically
Or make them deal less damage to buildings

Or make them deal less damage to buildings
that is a good point though
