[Feedback] MA Color, Vehicle captures, etc

This really is something that is just a matter of getting use to, but i still find it annoying at times. When you MA someone, it's the same color and in the same spot as when you kill a player. Sometimes this can get confused when you're in a heated duel and you MA them, and you're not fully concentrating on what the text is saying, you just see it come up as usual and go "oh, i killed him" and really you MA him, but you let your guard down and die.

Another is when you use the enemies tank (after they've hopped out). There is no way to know whether or not the tank is yours or the enemy, and the logical conclusion to that would be to shoot it either way. It seems to me this takes away from the effectiveness of being able to use other teams vehicles. If there was some way to know that your team mate was controlling it, might be a bit better.

I can see the MA thing, I've never lost a "duel" due to it...but I was thrown off at the start. As for the tank thing, I seem to remember there being a red hat over all the vehicles when an enemy was in it....regardless of it's origins.

Really? I didn't recall seeing one, but i'll double check to make sure.

Edit TribesHud.ini in Content\System, you can change it to any color you wish .. not sure which Section it is under though.

As for Tanks(Vehicles), I agree that they should switch when they are "stolen" - sure, you just look at IFF, but from a distance sometimes it'd be easier to catch a glimpse, and should be a simple modification

I think that the vehicle switching colors would take away from the game.. When you steal a vehicle you are doing just that, stealing it. You aren't taking it to MACCO and getting it painted.. :) Let the unsuspecting enemy welcome the vehicle home only to see the enemy pop out.. It's part of the game.

Just my opinion.

a big hint if you kill them or not is the yard sale of all their junk flying out of their dead body.
