Landing indicator.
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
a flashing indicator on the LZ's corners, to indicate when the Rasputin or pod is coming down.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
less gibbed marines.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
when the shuttle control panel is activated, activate this indicator for in transit. can just be something turning off and on. also, improves accessibility for any hard of hearing players we may have. can either be a red light, just a warning panel like the sulaco display boards, or something else, so long as there is a visual indicator for you to get off the LZ.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
N/A

Re: Landing indicator.
I just stay the fuck off of where the shuttles land but I wouldn't mind this due to my shitty hearing, Though I agree with the above mention of aliens. Perhaps only activate it when the soundbyte begins playing? +1 if so.

Re: Landing indicator.
At least have this landing indicator be implemented for Cargo shuttle. I saw marines getting gibbed in Cargonia standoffs vs Xenos when the RO called the shuttle before they retreated to the shuttle bay, but RIP the marines who had no idea.

Back then, when I started playing, there wasn't a sound for the dropship. At some point they added it in, and you can hear it from quite a ways.
Unless you have music blaring into your ears, keep an ear out for it and keep away from the landing pad.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

Re: Landing indicator.
If you don't to get squished either listen to your music at a lower level, don't play with music on or just always walk the safe route around an Lz so even if the Rasp or Vindi is going to land you won't get squished.

Re: Landing indicator.
On one hand, it adds to atmosphere to have warning lights flickering when crafts are landing /OSHA approved infastructure
on the other hand, my god is it just great to see someone get crushed/ obliterated and no chance for respawning... fore-eve-ahh.

Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...
...
But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
