Don't think spots showing only on minimap would work too well. If maps were flat, sure, but you've seen how many layers the maps have; massive base structures with multiple floors. Now plonk a red dot on map and people at everyfloor will be confused where it is.

That's assuming the map doesn't automaticly change to same layer you're at and that the markers would show to everyone in the empire, not just same team where you can better describe the mark though VOIP.


3D markers please. Just not drawing them through objects and same general marker for all the threats. Could even just make the marker on closest solid surface at the target area so it wouldn't snap to highlighted players or anything like that.

For such use 1 spot at the time for any player and some recon cert tree for +x spots would seem fair, perhaps?

If it gets spammy with markers it could very well be restricted to same vehicle/team/squad/company/outfit/etc. Maybe just make SL/anyone with said Recon certs show up for everyone in the empire?
