Visual Indication of Landing/Leaving Dropship

[aphotic]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): There has been an occasional bug where the dropship sound doesn't play, leading to unintended squishes or queen-abductions. A visual indicator- Such as the Floodlights on the pad turning from white to a flashing red- Would presumably be a little more reliable.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Minimize the impact the DS sound bug has on gameplay.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): When the Dropship 'engine whine' sound plays for those near the pad, there is a visual indication as well- The floodlights changing color, or a 'landing beacon' of some kind on the pad flashing, or a glow or dust effect on the landing pad tiles. Anything that can be seen and doesn't go through BYOND's sound system.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): As above.

+1 the sound and light bug is a minor but persistant annoyance.

[WinterClould]

+1 I'd love some red flashing lighting on the corners of the landing pads to signal the dropship landing.

[Aracino]

+1 Too many xenos have died to this bug...

[Recounted]

+1 I wunt this in

[misto]

+1 if the landing pad floodlights can be eternally on and invincible some displays and warning lights can be there too, and some alert lights inside the ship itself perhaps

[Jalleo]

the landing lights are always on. The issue is that the area has a weirdness due to light code

+1. Changing the light color would be quite a nice and smooth way to warn people about a drophip landing/leaving.
