Make the marking light a bit smaller?

[caleeb101]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make the marking light the SL's get with Tacticool Binoculars a little bit smaller so it's a bit harder to see. Right now, it's so big that if you don't see it you're genuinely blind. I'm only suggesting this because I'm yet to see a single thing die to dropship fire. Hell, I haven't even seen anything die indirectly to dropship fire by getting stunned and shot by the marines.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Makes it more likely to hit marines/aliens who aren't paying attention and finally gives the satisfaction of the many many explosions a dropship leaves.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Make the red dot a tiny bit smaller.

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

+1 worth experimenting with. its generally easy to evade the evil red dot right now and it cuts deep into the usefulness of the new dropship features

+1 Maybe half size to see if it makes a difference.

[Hyperio]

Neutral. I have yet to see this red dot but if it is indeed too big maybe it's worth a try.

The one time I was actually close enough to see the red dot that an SL was aiming I did think it was a little big. Someone should snag a picture some time so I can get a good idea.

Thanks a bunch.

Looking at it, I don't know.. I could stand for it to be smaller but, I don't think you could make it small enough to actually make any difference without actually making it too small.

It might be a bit big now but making it a little smaller wont make any difference. If you make it small enough to actually make a difference it would end up so small you could hide it in a blood splatter or over a flare.

Plus I bet the devs probably don't want us hiding the dot and do actually want to aliens to be able to see it (and meta it before its even been used once just like the OB every round jk but really ayy who run from the dot/OB right away are aids).
