Here's A fix:

Every time you press the tab key, you have to slap your wrist.

[alkyng 3,080]

Now I have noticed it. Yes true, it should be 1st place or 2nd place. Or at least be like #1 place , #2 place. Because "1 place" does mean nothing.!

You really want me to include the tab button for mobile players in my post, don't you?

[Iron_Man 2,376]

To be honest, I don't give a thing about the drone a dude is using on the other side of the map.

Hmmm.

 

*calls Incorp's refrigerator* 

Hello, I called you to let you know that if incorp doesn't go through with this self discipline, then you much lock your doors until he gives in.

Mhmm.

Yes.

Thank you.

*hangs up*

Well, you may have a surprise waiting back home.

You know what would be cool? If we could give our drones nicknames.

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

This is a good suggestion, the drone is such an important factor in battles now that we should definitely be able to see what drones people have. However, having drone name in the scorecard would simply be too long. I think each drone should simply have an icon (like augments do), and we would have to learn the icons for each drone - but in time we could.

They wouldn't be able to fit an actual drone name along with all the rest of the information currently on the tab screen - but an icon should be possible. This would be very useful information, you shouldn't have to get one-shot before you can work out who has Booster drone etc, or get a flag stolen before you know who has Crisis.

We could do abbreviations.

BRT

MCH

ASL

TRP

ENG

DRV

SUP

SPR

MNR

BOO

BLA

DEF

LFG

SBT

TRK

CMP

HYP

CRS

 

Anyone wanna take a shot at what drones these abbreviations represent?

Since most drones enhance a specific supply (or three), we can use supply icons as a start, just as augments have icons.

Well that is possible, but even an abbreviation will still take up more space than an icon. Also an icon would fit better with the current "theme" of the tab screen, as we already have icons for augments - drones would be a 3rd icon to add the to current two for turret and hull augments.

Yes the abbreviations are obvious - BRT=Brutus, MCH=Mechanic, ASL=Assault, etc.

Well that is true, but not all do - such as Driver Drone or Brutus drone. I think we would need new icons for drones if this were to be implemented.

Driver: steering wheel icon

Brutus: Caesar crown icon

Maybe?

For a skilled player it does mean a lot

I wouldn't use the word "Skilled" if I were you. I'd rather say "team player". My concern is that it this were to be implemented, it would only make the score card congested and not really good. I prefer a cleaner interface rather instead of one with all sort of info but only lacking cleanliness.

Definitely I like the cleanliness also, but Drone is a one of the biggest game changers.. And it has the SMALLEST appearance in the battle. It must have an obvious look. Even if it was in expense of removing the Augments from Scoreboard.

If you wanna see something really clean play mobile. You can't see anything what the players have in battle and you have to find out for yourself lol. You can't even see any GS's XD Litterally going into a battle blindly.

I like mobile for controls and I got used to using tracked hulls I just don't like were I have to figure out what equipment they are using. I mean I wanna at least see gs but I can't.

I actually really like this idea, hope to see this in-game one day.

Thing is that it'll take alot of creative thinking and designing to come up with icons for each drone plus it'll take awhile to get used to. Abbreviations however doesn't require much time or creative thinking, plus players will automatically adjust to them. If we need more room for the abbreviations, we could extend the score card or remove a useless stat like the D/L ratio since kills and deaths do the same thing.
