Push Back External Wall Boundaries

Post by Steelpoint » 01 Aug 2015, 10:33

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): When your playing as a alien, if you venture near the exterior of the map you can see into space, as well as the red/orange space tiles surrounding the map. As you can imagine this is somewhat immersion breaking. My suggestion is to push back this zone so that even if a player is standing at the extreme edge of the map they won't see that the exterior is space.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Immersion benefit, make you feel like your on a actual planet.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Simply extend the exterior of the map by seven tiles minimum.
This is war, survival is your responsibility.

I'm okay with this, it would make the map look nicer too. If possible it'd be nice if the area's you could traverse were also extended just a tad too.

I think the normal view range is something like 7 tiles. Just make the deep jungle that thick, and we should be good.

To me being on the planet, whenever I see that wall surrounding us... It feels like we're trapped... Could use some large electrified fences covering it.

Still an issue after the alien "sight" update?
