Dead - Alive status on TAB menu

[JamesTechno]

In the oldest version of altitude, instead of seeing the perks of your craft, you saw their health bar. Not only did i like to see just how much health my foe had remaining just before he killed me, but it let you see just who on your team was alive and who was waiting to respawn.

I think it would be a good idea to see an X instead of a rank icon, or maybe even a health bar for your teammates. To be honest, i would only like to see who is alive and who is dead, and only for my teammates. It lets me know whose dead and when.

I second the motion for dead/alive symbols!

[tyr]

When someone is dead, his level badge has a X on it, on the score screen.
It's already in the game.

[as red as black]

There already are dead/alive X's.

I still would like health bars

eh. You can already pretty much tell peoples' health by the length of smoke trailing them.

There is no indication of health between full and 50%, and not entirely efficient to visually estimate the differences between say 30% health and 10% health. With loopy, biplane or uncharged miranda shots this gap makes a big difference.

I'd rather the enemy health flash when I shoot them than see heavy armor or rubber hull flashing incessantly, but I really don't worry about it because I tend to shoot at things until they explode regardless.

I like this current system.

New power-up idea - smoke trail. Makes you look damaged when you are not! Use it to bring in cocky players and then surprise them.

I suggested this some months ago, think it's a great idea.

Oh, so you only like ideas YOU'VE had? How convenient :P

I think it'd be nice with a skull icon or something for those who are dead, since the cross/no cross are a bit similarrrrrr. arrrrrrr. arrr.

It's about time someone figured things out.
