Feature Request: Seeing reaction radius
Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2017 2:42 am
So, when you're team is concealed, you get a nice indicator of how close you can get without being revealed. Cool. This indicates that your troops have some idea of what the sight radius is of enemy squads, and it even compensates for things like lightpoles blocking LoS. Great. However, when your squad has been revealed, but one member is still concealed (Shinobi, Conceal, or Ghost Grenade), they only see the reaction radius for themselves.
It would be awesome if those "concealed scouts" could also see the radius at which the aliens they're spotting will react to the rest of your squad. It could be done easily with a different color radius (pink, blue, whatever). Technically you could display this all the time when a unit is concealed, but optimally it would only be when some units are concealed and others aren't. This would make skills like Conceal and Ghost Grenade far more desirable as they would make it easier to setup secondary ambushes by waiting just outside the reaction radius.
