Health bars

Are you a fixer tired of your team separating? Then you get a big pop up on the middle of the screen letting you know that you are now down a team member?

I think the game should try to squeeze health bars for all team players on the left side of the screen so you can know who needs you when they aren't in sight! just a suggestion, I know the screen is already pretty packed during battle but it would be great, especially for a fixer

 

I think you said it all, "the screen is already pretty packed during battle". Esp for us phone players... I'm a fixer too, but I think it isnt worth it. Id much rather have visibility Nice idea though

 

I see where you are coming from, it could help a lot for fixers, but other ships wouldn't benefit as much. Maybe instead there could be a message in the corner saying that " <player_name> has 10% health left". Or maybe that would take up even more room

 

I reckon just having a toggle in the settings so you can turn it on or off at will would be great. Best of both worlds.

 

It would be great for fixers, and even better if you could toggle it off in UI settings and arrange it where you like.

 

I feel the name of each player be bright at full health and each letter gets darkened as he takes hit and at last name gets blackened when he gets killed.
Darkening of name depends on number of letters in name.

 

No in my opinion. It would only distract from what's happening in the game. I'd rather look around because then I don't just see the person who takes damage, but also what hits him and who fired it.

 

I'm against. Not everyone plays with tablets. And 5 icons with health bar will clearly interfere with the overview.

 

I would like a bar (or an alert) that appears for a fixer when the teammates is below 15% HP

 

Based on the written responses, I'd say even more people would support this if it was optional for fixers only, could be modified through the HUD and adopted one or more of the clever ideas proposed to take up minimum space on the screen.

 

the alert could be in the in battle chat.
e.g. <playername> is at <25/10>% health!

also, what @CaffeinatedChris said.

 

Id like this, definitely a toggle option for fixers.
That or players could go from green to yellow to orange to red on the dots map in the upper left corner.
This would be for the friends and unfriends. You would know where the players are (instead of seeing they are low health and then having to look around and find them possibly wasting valuable healing to other team maters)
This way ships could also know if an unfriend is trying to hide with low health (then the speeders can get them!)

 

That would be injustice for non-fixer team, fixer's additional visibility should be focused only to help friends when they need them.....

 

Very true. Plus, if you can't see a friend in need, you're like unable to help him anyway.

 

It wouldnt be for just fixers, the dots would change color for everyone.
Therefore it would benefit both teams, because say if the fixer was low health and backed up, the other team could see it as well.
If that seems to difficult of a gameplay, just have the dots change color on your own team.
Either way they would need to be in visibility of someone on the team

 

Repair bolt can go a long ways, but id agree if the team mate is behind you its probably not worth it to turn around and heal him haha.
