starbase ranges - display

from Sins Forums

is it just me or does the display for attack range only give the range of the standard gun? I upgraded it to full weapons it it was still the same as before. so, any way we could ascertain how far individual weapons systems reach? else, maybe the longest system should always be shown? I'm not a numbers freak and am not keen on looking them up somewhere outside of the game.

I would love to see the individual weapon ranges on starbases and, possible, on everything else. (E.g. press ALT to see maximum range of everything on screen plus individual ranges for starbases, ranges coloured as now, press CTRL+ALT to see the individual ranges of all weapons of all ships - a potpourri of ranges - with ranges coloured according to weapon type (e.g. yellow=laser, red = missile, orange = gun - or something)

-- or a setup with like above where you could configure which ship types to show individual ranges for and which to show all ranges for.

Yes, same sort of range display as Supreme Commander has would be nice, however in Forged Alliance displaying the ranges causes immense lagging, that we can do without  :P

Yes, a tacticle display like the one used in supreme comander would be great to easily evaluate the effectiveness of your defences and as an emeny to easily identify the week points in your oponents.
