Flazm opened a Development Discussion concerning the possible return of resizable radar:
Howdy SWG folks, your friendly neighborhood programmer here with a question. We know that you want a resizable radar back, and we are looking very seriously at giving you one. Obviously one option is to put back in the old radar. But our art style has changed somewhat, and the old radar won't really match. So we're talking about how to put back the radar as a resizable element while keeping the art style consistent. So, some questions for you: How big do you want the radar to be? Is there an "optimal" size for the radar? If so, what is it? If you had the ability to make it any size you wanted, how big would you make it? Or how small?
Would you prefer to see a fully resizable radar, or just some options for different radar sizes (e.g. small, medium, large)? Of course, fully resizable is great, but the art requirements change for things that are fully resizable. It's easier to make really great art when it doesn't have to support being scaled up and down.
Give me your thoughts! Oh, and please try to stay on topic. :]
